Stan Wawrinka vs Botic Van De Zandschulp prediction
Wawrinka has chipped in with decent results this year. He’s still making waves at the age of 40 and looks determined to achieve a strong result on tour. The Swiss recently stretched Casper Ruud to the limits in Basel and will hope to begin well in Athens.
Van De Zandschulp, meanwhile, has been out of form in the last few months. He’s chalked up only two wins from his last seven matches on tour and needs a strong result to regain his confidence. The Dutchman likes to rely on his serve and has great hands at the net.
Van De Zandschulp will be a slight favorite on paper. However, considering their recent form, Wawrinka should be able to solve this round and begin with a win in Athens.
Pick: Wawrinka to win in three sets.
