Another busy week of ATP action has commenced, with no fewer than three tournaments taking place. One of the events to be played this week is European Open, which takes place in Brussels. On Tuesday, there's an interesting first-round clash between Joao Fonseca and Botic Van De Zandschulp. The Briazilian will be looking to get back into the swing of things having had a short break following his win over Flavio Cobolli.
For the Dutch player, this isn't too far from home, and he'll be hoping that such proximity to his own country of the Netherlands brings about an improvement in form. When we last saw Van De Zandschulp, he looked out of sorts, losing in straight sets to Nuno Borges. He'll likely need to pull out considerably more to avoid the same fate here.

Our Joao Fonseca vs Botic Van De Zandschulp Prediction
I'm going to get right down to it here and say that I'm surprised to see Joao Fonseca priced as big as +130 to win this match without dropping a set. As far as I see it, there's a clear gap in quality here, while it is the Brazilian who is in better form than his Dutch opponent too. When we last saw Fonseca, he was beating Flavio Cobolli in straight sets, while he also made light work of beating Van De Zandschulp in straight sets when the pair last met (on a hard court). Our Joao Fonseca vs Botic Van De Zandschulp Pick: Joao Fonseca to Win 2-0.
