Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the upcoming match between Stefanos Tsitsipas from Greece and Botic van de Zandschulp from the Netherlands, Tsitsipas currently leads the head-to-head with a 1-0 record. Their previous encounter took place in Antwerp, Belgium, on a hard court surface, where Tsitsipas emerged victorious with a score of 7-5, 6-3.

Stefanos Tsitsipas, aged 26, is currently ranked as the world No. 11. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 3 in August 2021 and has an impressive record of 11 wins against top-3 opponents, including 2 victories against the world No. 1, 4 against the world No. 2, and 5 against the world No. 3.

Tsitsipas has also had success in Grand Slam tournaments, reaching the semi-finals on six occasions. Notably, he made it to the finals of both the 2021 Roland Garros and the 2023 Australian Open, although he lost to Djokovic in both instances. At the age of 20, Tsitsipas won the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals title, and at 21, he became the youngest champion of the Nitto ATP Finals since Hewitt in 2001.

Throughout his career, Tsitsipas has secured 11 ATP Tour titles, including three consecutive ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo titles in 2021, 2022, and 2024. However, he has yet to win an ATP 500 title, having reached the finals but ultimately falling short on 11 occasions.

One of Tsitsipas’s notable accomplishments is defeating the “Big 3” – Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal – before the age of 21. He defeated Djokovic in the 2018 Toronto third round, Federer in the 2019 Australian Open fourth round, and Nadal in the 2019 Madrid semi-finals.

In this tournament, Tsitsipas aims to reach his third quarter-final in as many main draw appearances at Basel. He has previously reached the quarter-finals in 2018 and the semi-finals in 2019. Additionally, Tsitsipas looks to secure his fourth hard court quarter-final of the season, following his successful runs at Los Cabos, Acapulco, and Antwerp. He has an impressive record of 23 wins and 6 losses against players ranked outside the top 50 in the 2024 season, with a particularly strong performance of 12 wins and 3 losses on hard courts.

On the other hand, Botic van de Zandschulp, aged 29, is currently ranked as the world No. 67. He experienced a breakthrough year in 2022, reaching new career-high rankings 14 times and peaking at No. 22 in August. This marked his second consecutive season as the top-ranked Dutchman.

Van de Zandschulp made history at the 2021 US Open as the third men’s qualifier in the Open Era to reach the quarter-finals. He became the first Dutchman to achieve this feat since 2004. In the 2024 US Open, he achieved the biggest win of his career by defeating the world No. 3, Carlos Alcaraz, in the second round.

Throughout 2021, van de Zandschulp displayed his strong performance in Grand Slam qualifying matches. He qualified for the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and US Open, while entering Wimbledon as a lucky loser. Despite his success in qualifying, he fell to Trungelliti in the third round of Wimbledon qualifying.

In ATP Tour events, van de Zandschulp reached his first final at the 2022 Munich tournament. He defeated the world No. 7, Casper Ruud, along the way. In the following year, he reached his second final at the 2023 Munich tournament and faced Rune. Unfortunately, he lost both finals, squandering four championship points in the 2023 final.

Van de Zandschulp had an outstanding year in 2022, earning a personal-best 38 wins. Notably, he secured victories over Norrie, Fritz, and Bublik, helping The Netherlands qualify for the Davis Cup Finals knock-out stage.

As he looks ahead to the quarter-finals of this tournament, van de Zandschulp aims to reach his 13th tour-level quarter-final. This will be his first since his runner-up finish in Munich in 2023. In the 2024 season, he has a record of 2 wins and 7 losses against top-20 players. His most significant victory came against Carlos Alcaraz in the second round of the US Open, marking the biggest win of his career against a top-20 player.

In summary, the upcoming match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Botic van de Zandschulp holds significant intrigue. Tsitsipas, with his impressive career-high ranking of No. 3, multiple Grand Slam semi-final appearances, and victories over the “Big 3” at a young age, faces van de Zandschulp, who made history at the 2021 US Open and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 22. Both players bring their unique strengths and aspirations into this match.
