Botic van de Zandschulp (NED) and Nick Kyrgios (AUS) will be meeting each other for the first time. Van de Zandschulp, aged 29, is currently ranked 85th in the world. He achieved a new career-high ranking 14 times in 2022, reaching a peak of No. 22 in August. He ended his second straight season as the No. 1 Dutchman. At the 2021 US Open, he became the third men’s qualifier in the Open Era to reach the quarterfinals. He was also the first Dutchman to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal since 2004 and was the only player to take a set off Medvedev, who eventually became the champion. In 2024, he had notable wins over Alcaraz in the US Open and Nadal in the Davis Cup Finals, which marked the end of Nadal’s career. This helped the Netherlands advance to their first-ever Davis Cup final. Van de Zandschulp also reached his first ATP Tour final in 2022 in Munich, defeating No. 7 Ruud along the way. He reached his second final in 2023 but lost to Rune on both occasions despite having 4 championship points. In 2021, he had a successful Grand Slam qualifying record, going 11-1 and qualifying for the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and the US Open. Last year, he lost in the first round to Shapovalov.
On the other hand, Nick Kyrgios, also aged 29, is currently ranked 1099th in the world. He broke into the top 50 at the age of 19 in 2015 and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 13 in 2016. He reached the Wimbledon final in 2022 as the No. 40 player, becoming the first unseeded Grand Slam men’s finalist since Tsonga in 2008. He was also the lowest-ranked finalist since Baghdatis at the 2006 Australian Open. In 2022, he earned a total of 61 victories, including 37 in singles and 24 in doubles. He won his 7th singles title at Washington and doubles titles at the Australian Open, Atlanta, and Washington. Kyrgios has also had notable wins over Nadal and Medvedev in previous Grand Slam tournaments. He joined Hewitt as the second player to win their first meeting with Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic. Kyrgios is looking for his first ATP Tour win since his quarterfinal run at the 2022 Tokyo tournament. This would also make him the third lowest-ranked ATP Masters 1000 match winner in series history. He has had success at Indian Wells, including a victory over No. 2 Djokovic in the 2017 fourth round, which propelled him to two quarterfinal runs at the venue.
In conclusion, Botic van de Zandschulp and Nick Kyrgios will be facing each other for the first time in their careers. Van de Zandschulp has achieved significant milestones, such as reaching a career-high ranking and making it to the quarterfinals of the US Open. Kyrgios, on the other hand, has had success in Grand Slam tournaments and has notable wins over top-ranked players.
