Evans will come into the tie with a career hardcourt record of 222-116 and is 8-4 on the surface this season that is also his record for the season across all surfaces. Nadal will take the court with a career hardcourt record of 275-62 and is 16-0 on the surface which is also his record for the season across all surfaces.

Looking at these numbers and considering their in the 2022 season, Nadal looks the favourite for the match. While Evans can certainly shock the Spaniard as Korda came very close to knocking him out, Nadal’s spirit and innumerable instances of winning from a position of defeat certainly makes him the favourite against the Brit.

Prediction: Rafael Nadal to win in 3-sets.
