Rafael Nadal vs. Duje Ajdukovic: Match Preview

This is the first meeting between the seasoned veteran and the new talent. Nadal’s recent absence from the tour has resulted in fewer encounters with the new generation of players. When they do clash, however, the matches make for interesting viewing, with the young players testing Nadal’s fitness.

Ajdukovic has 1 win and 3 losses at tour level this year, while the King of Clay has played 12 matches and won 7 in his comeback.

Rafael Nadal vs. Duje Ajdukovic: Match Prediction

Ajdukovic broke onto the professional scene in 2018, but it wasn’t until last year that he transcended Challenger and ITF tournaments to play at the major events. He has played in fewer Tour-level matches than Nadal has won the French Open, playing just nine.

Nadal, however, plays doubles in the tournament and has also reached the semi-finals in that category. Playing 3 hours and 59 minutes in the quarter-finals may have cost him something, but if he is fit enough to step onto the court, he is the favorite to win.

Match Prediction: Nadal wins in straight sets.
