Rafael Nadal Vs Dan Evans Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?

Given the form Nadal is in right now, he is the clear favourite going into this match. Evans counter-punching game will not be very effective against a player like Nadal. Nadal’s heavy, topspin game will be difficult to get by as well.

Prediction: Nadal to win in straight sets.
