Rafael Nadal vs Duje Ajdukovic Prediction & Betting Tips - ATP Bastad Open
by Kennedy Kechula | in Tennis Predictions
Rafa Nadal’s fine run at the Swedish Open continues; he will meet qualifier Duje Ajdukovic in the semi-finals. Let’s dive into the pre-match stats and look at the prediction for this Saturday fixture.
A renowned performer on clay, Nadal is targeting a second Swedish Open title. The veteran Spaniard first rose to success here in 2005 which is also the last time he participated in the tournament. To secure passage to the semis, the 38-year-old had to mount a comeback against fourth seed Mariano Navone.
The last two years have had Nadal struggle with injuries but he has won 10 of 15 matches this season. This is a positive turnaround after he managed just one win in four outings last year. He is now placed 188th in the live ranking after making a massive 73-place jump.
Duje Ajdukovic has also made a huge leap after getting to the semis here. He has moved up 21 places and is now 109th in the live ranking which is a new career high. The Croatian number two eliminated Thiago Monteiro in his second straight three-set victory.
He is now one win away from his first-ever tour final appearance. Ajdukovic is an impressive player on clay and won eight of his nine ITF and Challenger titles on the surface. The 23-year-old has compiled a 24-20 record and claimed 13 of his victories in 21 outings on clay.
From this clash, the winner will play Thiago Agustin Tirante, Roberto Carballes Baena, Timofey Skatov or Nuno Borges in the championship match.
