Botic van de Zandschulp v Mikhail Kukushkin Head to Head

van de Zandschulp at His Career-Best
A fighting few performances all season already have taken van de Zandschulp to his career-best ranking of 42nd in the world and following on from his top performance in Indian Wells two weeks ago, he would like to continue in the same vein.
The Dutchman dispatched Tennys Sandgren in the first round in that competition in what was an expected performance but this was followed by one of his best career results.
In a match against Felix Auger-Aliassime, van de Zandschulp had gone in at 11/4 odds and went on to win it in three sets – two of which were tie-breakers. That win seemed to have taken the wind off his sails though, as he fell to Miomir Kecmanovic in the third round but as far as boosting his confidence is concerned, there would be nothing like that.
Earlier, van de Zandschulp had made it to the third round at Australian Open as well.

Kukushkin Waiting on a Main Draw Win
The last time Kukushkin won a main draw match of an ATP tournament was nearly a year ago and at this very tournament in Miami.
The former world number 39 benefitted from Jack Draper’s retirement in that competition to reach the second round but fell in straight sets to Aslan Karatsev after that.
Since then a string of opening round defeats and losses in the qualifiers of tournaments have followed suit and pushed him into playing Challenger competitions. This year itself he has featured in four of them and even there, Kukushkin has won four main draw matches.
By the looks of things it would be a huge task in the offing for him to even trouble his opponent in this one.
