The first set was almost even, with Van de Zandschulp only able to make the difference in the tiebreak. In the second set he quickly ran out, to use his first match point at 5-3.
,,Perhaps this was my best grass race ever”, said Van de Zandschulp in a first reaction. “For example, I served surprisingly well.” About his progress lately he said: ,,Everything suddenly falls into place for me. That gives a lot of confidence. I am starting to believe in myself more and more.”
Van de Zandschulp had previously won against British qualifier Paul Jubb.
