USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center (New York).
In the US Open quarter-finals, Daniil Medvedev will meet the 25-year-old Dutchman, Botic van de Zandschulp. We’re sure that before the start of the current Majors, many of you hadn’t even heard the surname. Now Botic, however, has become an internationally renowned tennis player. By the way, Botic made it to the main draw through qualification, and the upcoming meeting will be the eighth for the Dutchman at the tournament.
Botic van de Zandschulp’s current form
Before the US Open, Botic played quietly on the US Open Challenger. In August, the Dutchman reached the semi-finals of Liberec and Meerbusch, where he lost to Machac and Cerundolo. The Dutchman was lucky to be seeded in the main draw, Botic battling back in the first round against World No. 105 Taberner. Then he knocked Ruud, Bagnis, and finally Schwartzman out of the draw. Zandschulp played two 5-set and two 4-set matches in the American Majors main draw. And in general, given that the Dutch representative played three more qualifying matches before the main draw, there is a feeling that Botic has already been fed up with tennis.
Daniil Medvedev’s current form
In an interview after his match against Evans, Medvedev said that he was doing well, both physically and mentally. There is no reason not to believe the second-ranked player of the world. Recall that before his match against the Briton, the Russian knocked Gasquet, Koepfer, and Anduhar out of the current draw without losing a single set at the tournament. Medvedev played in the US Open final two years ago and lost to Nadal. Now Nadal is not in New York, while Medvedev is listed among the most likely title contenders.
The match was great. It was the first time we faced Evans. He’s a difficult opponent. For example, he had a match ball against Wawrinka when he won the title here, which means something. As for facing Zandschulp, I watched his previous match until the score was 5/4 in the third set, and then I had to take to the court myself. Now my coach and I are going to prepare a game plan. If my serve and the whole game are going, I’m hard to beat. Plus, he’s exhausted. We have to use it.
