🔍 Match Breakdown

This is a classic clash of styles and surfaces. Bautista Agut is a tenacious grinder who thrives in extended baseline exchanges, while Van de Zandschulp relies more on first-strike tennis and flattening out his shots.

Munich’s faster-than-average clay suits the Dutchman’s style well—he’s already reached two finals here. Meanwhile, Bautista Agut is battling form and fitness issues, and hasn’t beaten a Top 90 opponent in months. Unless he rediscovers vintage form, the edge leans to Botic.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Van de Zandschulp to win in straight sets

The venue, head-to-head dominance, and style advantage make the Dutchman the favorite in this one.
