Holger Rune this afternoon at the 2025 U.S. Open Open in the Stand Court.
Rune joined Andre Aggasi in the match, who won two Grand Slam titles at Flushing.
The 22-year-old ranked 9th and started in 2025 with a great first half, including the ATP 500 champion in Barcelona, defeated Carlos Alcaraz and reached the Indian Wells final.
But in the second half of this year, the runes are less consistent – usually underperformed at the U.S. Open, with two straight first-round exits. He hopes to avoid repeating these results this year.
Rune's opponent van de Zandschulp is an experienced Dutch athlete currently ranked 73, but has a career-high ranking of 22.
He was ready after reaching the Winston Salem final last week, though maybe not enough rest. In March, he shocked Novak Djokovic in Indian Wells and searched for another frustration this afternoon.
Head to head
Runes have a 2-0 advantage over Van de Zandschulp, winning the 2023 encounter in the Munich final in a marathon.
prophecy
Runes are in four, probably in five groups. Rune's offensive versatility and consistency in hard training gave him an advantage. But he is vulnerable to injury due to the venue and opponents and may drop a set or two.
