Van de Zandshulp Struggling for Form
Van de Zandschulp will have fond memories of this tournament from two years ago, having reached the quarter-final in New York in his debut appearance.
That remains his best performance in a Grand Slam, although he did reach the fourth round of Wimbledon last year.
The Dutchman has appeared in two successive finals in Bavaria, in 2022 and 2023, both times finishing on the losing side.
However, since his defeat to Holger Rune in Munich, he has been struggling for form, and he lost five successive matches, before reaching the second round of Wimbledon.
He then did not play for seven weeks before reappearing at Winston Salem last week, where he promptly lost in the first round to Omni Kumar, an American ranked number 385 in the world.

Washington Quarter-Finalist Thompson
Thompson’s run to the fourth round in New York, three years ago, remains his best performance in a Grand Slam to date.
He has never won a senior ATP title, although he was runner-up in Rosmalen this year to Tallon Griekspoor. The Australian had reached the final of the same event four years earlier.
However, he has tasted success in 2023 on the Challenger tour, winning tournaments in the USA in February, and South Korea in May, both on hard courts.
His best recent performance was in Washington, where he reached the quarter-finals.
Subsequently he was made to qualify in Cincinnati and went on to reach the second round only to lose to the world number one Carlos Alcaraz.
Van de Zandschulp v Thompson Prediction and Tip
Given Van de Zandschulp’s recent struggles with form, and also lack of practice on American hard courts, the odds on what, on paper at least, should be a close match, may have shifted in favour of the Australian.
It would not be a surprise, though, if this match were to go to five sets.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Thompson to win: 6/7 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 35.5 games in the match: 5/6 (with bet365)
