Head-to-head statistics Van De Zandschulp - Vallejo
Botic Van De Zandschulp Player Overview
Botic van de Zandschulp has struggled to find consistency since the start of the grass-court swing, alternating wins and losses over his last six matches. In his most recent outing, he edged past Taro Daniel in the BΓ₯stad first round, but the Japanese player pushed him all the way, keeping things tight on the scoreboard (7-6, 6-4). Van de Zandschulp is winning around 78% of points behind his first serve, but his return game remains a concern, as he converts just 36% of his break point chances. Despite holding a solid position in the rankings at No. 55, the Dutchman has been unable to recapture the form that once took him into the ATP top 30, and he hasnβt lifted a trophy since 2022.
