Holger Rune vs Botic Van de Zandschulp – Match Predictions
The BMW Open is finally drawing to a close, and there are just two players left in this tournament. As Holger Rune and Botic Van de Zandschulp contend with each other for the title, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Botic Van de Zandschulp to Cover +5.5 Games
Granted, Holger Rune has been almost unstoppable in this tournament so far; he breezed through the previous three rounds, defeating all of his opponents in straight sets. However, it’s important to point out that none of those players were seeded; as a matter of fact, all of Holger Rune’s opponents in this tournament are ranked outside the top 80.
Compared to Holger Rune’s previous opponents, Botic Van de Zandschulp will be a tougher nut to crack. The Dutch player is the fourth seed in this tournament, who has been outstanding so far. We would like to point out that Van de Zandschulp is coming off a straight sets victory over second seed and World number 10 Taylor Fritz; he dispatched all his opponents in straight sets too. That said, we are fairly confident that Van de Zandschulp will cover +5.5 games.
Over 20.5 Total Games
Given how well these two have played in this competition, we don’t expect this to be a one-sided contest. It’s important to note that most of Botic Van de Zandschulp’s matches have been tightly-contested fixtures; the Dutchman had played three-setters in five of six matches leading up to this tournament. In fact, excluding matches where a player retired, 10 of Van de Zandschulp’s last 11 matches went over the 20.5 games line. For this reason, we are taking the over option here.
Holger Rune vs Botic Van de Zandschulp Preview
We’ve established our predictions for this match, let’s see how these players have fared in this tournament.
Holger Rune
Holger Rune will aim to defend his BMW Open title today. The Danish player has been on fire in this competition, dispatching all his opponents in straight sets. As Rune takes on Botic Van de Zandschulp, it’ll be interesting to see how he’ll match-up against the Dutch player.
Botic Van de Zandschulp
On the other hand, Botic Van de Zandschulp reached the final of this event last year, where he faced none other than Holger Rune. The Dutch player had to retire in the first set due to an injury. Ahead of the final, Van de Zandschulp is yet to surrender a set. Can he dethrone Holger Rune today?
