🔍 Match Breakdown

This is a clay-court strategist's dream. Both players are strong baseliners but differ in rhythm and approach.

⚡ Seyboth Wild is most dangerous when stepping into his forehand and using angles. If he gets momentum, he becomes hard to stop. However, his return and mental game can dip unexpectedly.
🧊 Van de Zandschulp plays with more tactical patience, stronger shot selection, and has a more consistent serve under pressure.

📌 Key Factors:
– Second serve return positioning and aggression
– Mid-range rally dominance (5–9 shots)
– Ability to hold nerves in key service games

🔮 Prediction

Prediction: Van de Zandschulp in 3 sets — With a slightly more composed game and stronger serve under altitude, the Dutchman edges a physical and strategic battle.
