Expert Betting Tips

The outcome is likely to be influenced by the Spaniard's form and attitude. While it's challenging to gauge Rafael Nadal's current state due to his recent absence, we can assume he has prepared for the clay court season. In contrast, Cobolli's performance on the clay courts of Marrakech and Monte Carlo has not been up to par. These factors lead us to believe that Nadal will have no trouble achieving a positive outcome on Tuesday.
