Nadal will start the match as a huge favorite. He is in some serious form and is undefeated so far this season. Norrie, being a southpaw will also give an added advantage to Rafa. He has been serving very well this week and is exploring newer dimensions in his game. Norrie will have to return flawlessly to trouble Nadal. Having said that, Nadal is expected to cruise past the Brit and win the third title of the season.

Prediction: Nadal to win in straight sets.
