Botik Van de Zandschulp has a strong record on clay and reached the final last season. He is a clay-court specialist, comfortable at the baseline, and capable of surprising opponents with his topspin and slice shots. On the other hand, his opponent Dominic Stryker has been struggling with a back injury and is not yet in top form. It is expected that Van de Zandschulp will be able to control the match and emerge victorious due to his experience and good preparation on clay.
