A game in which Rafael Nadal leaves as a favorite in terms of surface, but also evolves to one of his favorite tournaments. Pella made good matches on clay this year, but he has not met a player of Nadal’s caliber, making it quite difficult for him to rise to his level.

Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal is trying to get his 12th career title at Monte Carlo and 4th consecutive.

Throughout his participation in Monte Carlo, Nadal was only twice removed before the semifinals, and last time he lost set here in the first round of the 2017 edition.The former ATP leader did not play much in the current season. He managed to reach the Australian Open final, defeated by Djokovic, Acapulco lost to Kyrgios in eighth, and Indian Wells withdrew from the semifinal with Roger Federer due to injury.After being released on the first lap here, Nadal placed in the second round with a double 6-1 by Roberto Bautista Agut. In the finals optimals went in the minimum of sets 6-4 6-1 by Grigor Dimitrov.

Until now, the 27-year-old Argentine lost every time in the first round of the 2016 and 2018 editions, the only ones he attended.All the South American matches from here were completed in 3 sets. In the first round, Laslo Djere had the chance to make a big surprise in the second round by eliminating Croatian Marin Cilic.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Rafael Nadal vs Guido Pella

Nadal is a big favorite, and in the last direct game he has lost just 4 games in front of Pella in a 3 out of 5 match. I expect the Iberic to win again, but I think the Argentine will give him a replica good this time, and the line of over 16.5 games in the game seems pretty good.
