“I had some trouble getting into it, but that’s also because he constantly goes full out and tries to keep the points short,” said Van de Zandschulp about his start in Melbourne. “After I had won the first set, I walked through it fairly smoothly after one difficult service game. He also helped me with that.”
Struff made no fewer than 39 unnecessary mistakes, the Veenendaler thirty.
Van de Zandschulp caused a furore at the US Open in September. The highest-ranking Dutch tennis player managed to reach the quarterfinals in New York, but he had to acknowledge his superiority in four sets in Russian Daniil Medvedev, who eventually won the tournament.
Previously successful Greek track
