Prediction for the ATP Bastad match which will take place on June 21. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Nuno failed in the grass part of the season, losing three matches out of three at the tournaments in Hull, Mallorca and Wimbledon. In Bastad, the Portuguese has wins over Italy's Pellegrini, compatriot Rocha, Kazakhstan's Skatov and Argentina's Tirante. For the game against Tirante Borges made three aces and one double fault, won 82% of points on the first serve and 73% on the second.

Rafael missed the grass part of the season, did not even participate in Wimbledon, and the last tournament before Bastad for the Spaniard was Roland Garros, where he lost to German Zverev in the first round. In Bastad, Nadal has wins over Sweden's Borg, the 461st ranked player in the world in two sets 6:3, 6:4, Britain's Norrie 6:4, 6:4, Argentina's Navone 6:7, 7:5, 7:5 and Croatia's Ajdukovic 4:6, 6:3, 6:4. For the game against Dougher, Nadal had zero double faults, won 62% of points on first serve and 63% on second serve.

Nadal is gaining form in the course of the tournament in Bastad, although the victory over Audukovic can hardly be called easy, but we believe that Borges will beat the Spaniard with less difficulty and two sets will be enough for Rafa to win. Nadal has not won a tournament for a long time, and it is difficult to compare the experience of the Spaniard and the Portuguese. In this pairing we are betting on the more experienced Nadal, as experience is often crucial in finals.
