He started moderately to the party and immediately handed in his service. At breakneck speed, the Spaniard went to a 6-1 set win after several service breaks. A dramatic start for ‘BVDZ’.
With two double mistakes, Van de Zandschulp also immediately started the second set, so that his opponent again received breakpoints. However, he did hit it. In the first round he was still so satisfied with his service, but there was not much the question now. Although he still took the opening game of the second set.

Van de Zandschulp survives set points and grabs second set
Van de Zandschulp got a little better in the game, but regularly had difficulty with his service. At 4-4 (after a 40-0 score), Davidovich Fokina got a breakup opportunities again. The first was eliminated, but the Spaniard came again on a breakthrough after a great dip. Boris Becker in his best days. Fortunately, ‘BVDZ’ threw an ACE after it.

After another breakthrough, it was the Dutchman on the windy tennis court who still took the important ninth game. In the meantime he had already eliminated six breaking points. A game later Van de Zandschulp suddenly got a breaking chant and therefore set point, but his lob was just out. After this there was another chance on the set and he grabbed it. An unexpected gift, this set win: 6-4.
Changeable of the sand sculpt
In set 3 it went right for a long time, up to 3-2 for the Spaniard. He received three breaks opportunities on the service of the Dutchman and a ball later it was a break on Love: 4-2. In the end Fokina did not let this run: 6-3.

In Set 4, ‘BVDZ’ soon got opportunities to break in the set and he did, and then to return his service a game later. Another game later there were opportunities for the Dutchman again, but they were knocked away. So a changeable game for both players.
Insane balls Davidovich Fokina
On 4-3 for the tennis player from Spain, ‘BVDZ’ received an unparalleled fit. That earned him a breaking point, but the born player from Wageningen hit this way. It was almost a match point. But the Spaniard occasionally hit crazy balls in the fourth set.
And so he broke and served before the competition, but separately enough, there were suddenly breaking opportunities for Van de Zandschulp. And at the hands of his opponent, he still participated: 5-4 and the break back. On his own service it seemed to go wrong, because the Spaniard got a competition ball. He was knocked away and a little later Fokina ended up ugly after a dive, but he could continue. And it also became ‘just’ 5-5.
Competition stopped
The supervisor then decided to stop the game because of the invading darkness. The competition will continue tomorrow. Van de Zandschulp did not agree.
It is the second time this week that a Van de Zandschulp competition is stopped. It also happened to him on Monday in the first round against the Italian Matteo Arnaldi.
