Daniil Medvedev vs Botic van de Zandschulp is a Quarter-finals clash at the 2021 US Open and here are all the details of the live stream, prediction, preview and more
Daniil Medvedev has been on a rampage. The Russian star obliterated 24th seed Dan Evans in the Round of 16 to advance to the quarter-finals of the 2021 US Open.
Medvedev began his 2021 US Open Journey with a straight-sets drubbing of Richard Gasquet in the first round- 4-6, 3-6, 1-6.
He then continued where he left off with a similar scoreline against Dominik Koepfer in round 2.
Pablo Andujar wasn’t spared as well. A 0-6, 4-6, 3-6 win over the Spaniard set him up for a clash against Evans, which he won as well.
Now, in his path stands a surging Dutchman – Botic van de Zandschulp.
Zandschulp became the first men’s qualifier to reach the US Open quarterfinals since 2008.
He made his way to the quarterfinals after a shock win against top-seeded Diego Schwartzman – 6-3, 6-4, 5-7, 5-7, 6-1.
In the second round, he had beaten yet another seeded player as well – Casper Ruud of Norway.
Coming after a straight-set win over Enzo Couacaud in the qualifiers, not many gave Zandschulp a chance following his struggling first-round win over Carlos Taberner. But here is in the grand stage, out to challenge the best.
Daniil Medvedev and Botic van de Zandschulp haven’t met before. Their head-to-head record is 0-0.
Zandschulp turned pro a year before Medvedev turned pro. The Dutchman was a pro when he was hardly 18 years old – 2013. Medvedev – 2014.
While Medvedev is ranked number 2 in the world, Zandschulp is 115 places behind him at number 117. However, he will not let that affect him when he faces the behemoth of a Russian.
