Prediction for the ATP Barcelona, which will take place on April 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

This tournament is the third ground one of the season for Flavio, who previously played in Marrakech and Monte Carlo. In Morocco, he defeated Shelbayh but lost to Kotov. In Monaco, he failed to Nagal in two sets, 2-6 and 3-6, in just over an hour. During the game, Cobolli served four aces without committing any double faults. He won 58% of the points and 50% on the second serve. Regarding reception statistics, he had 29%/58%, winners/unforced errors 18/11.

In 2024, Nadal only played three official matches at the Brisbane tournament. He defeated Thiem and Kubler but lost to Thompson in three sets. Additionally, he played an exhibition match against Alcaraz in early March, which he failed after a lengthy special rules match.

The outcome is likely to be influenced by the Spaniard's form and attitude. While it's challenging to gauge Rafael Nadal's current state due to his recent absence, we can assume he has prepared for the clay court season. In contrast, Cobolli's performance on the clay courts of Marrakech and Monte Carlo has not been up to par. These factors lead us to believe that Nadal will have no trouble achieving a positive outcome on Tuesday.
