Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Botic van de Zandschulp from the Netherlands and [WC] Richard Gasquet from France are set to face each other in an upcoming tennis match. Van de Zandschulp currently holds a 2-0 lead in their head-to-head encounters. Their first meeting took place at the 2022 Australian Open on a hard court, with Van de Zandschulp winning 4-6, 6-0, 4-0 due to Gasquet’s retirement. The second match occurred at the 2022 Wimbledon tournament on grass, with Van de Zandschulp winning in a closely contested battle, 7-5, 2-6, 7-6(7), 6-1.

Van de Zandschulp, aged 29, holds the world ranking of No. 88 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 22 in August 2022. Throughout the year 2025, he has achieved a win-loss record of 3-6, with his best result being a third-round appearance in Indian Wells. In 2021, he made history by becoming the third men’s qualifier in the Open Era to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open. He was also the first Dutchman to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal since 2004 and managed to win a set against the eventual champion, Medvedev. In 2024, he had notable victories over No. 3 Alcaraz at the US Open and Nadal in the Davis Cup Finals, ending the former World No. 1’s career and leading the Netherlands to their first-ever Davis Cup final. Additionally, he reached his first ATP Tour final in Munich, defeating No. 7 Ruud along the way, and his second final in 2023 by defeating No. 10 Fritz. However, he narrowly missed out on winning both finals, losing to Rune and squandering four championship points in the process. Notably, in 2021, he had a successful run in Grand Slam qualifying matches, winning 11 out of 12 matches to qualify for the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and the US Open. He also entered Wimbledon as a Lucky Loser but was defeated by Trungelliti in the third round of qualifying.

It is important to note that the upcoming match will be Van de Zandschulp’s first event since his impressive victory over five-time champion No. 7 Djokovic, which allowed him to reach the third round of Indian Wells. Van de Zandschulp aims to start the ATP Head2Head record against Gasquet with a 3-0 advantage, a feat he has never achieved before. He also hopes to secure his third tour-level win against a single opponent, having previously achieved this against Mannarino (4-1) and Ruud (3-3).

Richard Gasquet, aged 37, from France holds the current world ranking of No. 148. He reached his career-high ranking of No. 7 in 2007 and spent four seasons overall (2007, 2012-13, 2015) in the Top 10. Gasquet has had significant victories throughout his career, defeating top-five players in five-set matches to reach the semifinals of the 2007 Wimbledon, 2013 US Open, and 2015 Wimbledon tournaments. He has earned 16 titles, including qualifications for the Nitto ATP Finals in 2007 and 2013, as well as reaching the finals of ATP Masters 1000 tournaments in 2005, 2006, and 2012. Gasquet made a notable impact early in his career, winning his ATP Tour debut as a 15-year-old in 2002 and achieving his biggest career win against world No. 1 Federer at the 2005 Monte Carlo tournament. In 2018, he reached the milestone of 500 career wins by defeating M. Zverev in Monte Carlo. Gasquet still holds the record as the youngest match winner since the start of the ATP Tour in 1990 and has accumulated a total of 607 wins, the highest among Frenchmen in the Open Era. He joins Djokovic as the only active players on the ATP Tour with over 600 wins.

For Gasquet, this tournament marks his third appearance in Bucharest. His debut in 2004 ended in defeat against Volandri in the second round. Gasquet is returning to Bucharest for the first time since 2008, when he lost to Moya in the semifinals. He is currently seeking his first Top 100 win of the season and his first tour-level win on clay since defeating Coric in the first round of Roland Garros in May.

In conclusion, Botic van de Zandschulp and Richard Gasquet are preparing to compete against each other in their third encounter. Van de Zandschulp holds a 2-0 lead in their head-to-head matches and is aiming to extend his dominance. However, Gasquet, despite his current world ranking and recent lack of success, has had a notable career and possesses the experience to challenge his opponent.
