Van de Zandschulp on track: "From the first point, I believed I could have a chance"
Historic night for Botic Van de Zandschulp in the US Open 2024 with his three-set victory over Carlos Alcaraz. A sublime performance by the Dutchman that puts him in an unfamiliar position in his career, though fully deserved considering his performance and post-match words. He appeared so calm in front of the microphone after defeating the World No. 3 in the second round.
“I'm speechless, it's been an incredible night, it’s the first time I've had a night session at Arthur Ashe. The crowd has been amazing, thank you for that because it’s been an unbelievable night. The truth is that the last match gave me a lot of confidence, I played very well in the last match. Today, from the first point, I believed I could have a chance,” assessed the Dutch player.
