Botic van de Zandschulp v Tomas Machac Head to Head

Van de Zandschulp Was a Quarterfinalist on Debut Last Year
After failing to win consecutive matches in the first three tournaments during the North American swing, the Netherlands’ Botic Van de Zandschulp won three in a row in Winston-Salem, reaching his third semifinal of the season. However, he was prevented from reaching a second ATP final by Adrian Mannarino, who outclassed the Dutchman in straight sets.
Van de Zandschulp will look to put that defeat behind him quickly and make a winning start at the U.S. Open. The 26-year-old brings a 31-22 season record into the tournament. His best this year was a run to a maiden ATP final, in Munich. He had beaten Casper Ruud en route the final, but unfortunately had to withdraw with an injury in the first set of the final, thus allowing Holger Rune to take the crown.
Van de Zandschulp made it to the quarterfinals on his U.S. Open debut last season. After qualifying for the main draw he had beaten the eighth seed Casper Ruud and the 11th seed Diego Schwartzman en route the last eight, but was stopped from progressing further by eventual champion Daniil Medvedev.
That run last year helped him break into the top 100 in the world for the first time and since then the Dutchman has constantly climbed up the rankings, reaching a career-high of No. 23 this week.
Seeded No. 21 in the tournament, Van de Zandschulp would be keen to repeat his last year’s performance.

Machac Makes the Main Draw for the First Time
Facing the Dutchman in the opener will be the Czech Republic’s Tomas Machac, who reached the main draw of the U.S. Open for the first time after overcoming Italy’s Flavio Cobolli in a three-set contest on Friday.
The 21-year-old Machac had beaten compatriot Zdeněk Kolář 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 in the first qualifying round and Slovakia’s Jozef Kovalík 7-6 (8-6), 6-3 in the second qualifying round.
On Friday, he who knocked out Coboli in the third qualifying round with a 7-6 (9-7), 5-7, 6-1 victory.
Ranked No. 126, Machac is inexperienced at the top level and a 3-4 main draw record this season is a reflection of that. He has been in good form on the Challenger Tour though, winning two title from as many finals this year. Both of the titles came on hard court, one of which was this month in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Poland.
Machachas done well to qualify for a few big tournaments this year. He made the main draw at the Australian Open and the Indian Wells Open and then went on to win his opening round matches in both the tournaments. Can he pull off another surprise on Monday?
