Alexander Zverev vs Botic Van De Zandschulp Prediction & Picks - ATP US Open

Prediction published on 9/8/26, 1:14 PM  by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 9/8/26 at 1:42 PM in ATP US Open Picks

Alexander Zverev will be hoping to move one step closer to what would be a second appearance in the final of the US Open on Wednesday, when he'll face Botic Van De Zandschulp, who has surpassed expectations by stringing together some seriously high-quality efforts. The Dutchman has long been a player capable of competing with the best, but he struggles for consistency, especially when he's the favorite. Fortunately, he does not have that problem here. 

Sure, this is absolutely a big chance for the world number two to book his place in the semis, but let's be honest, there's a decent chance that Zverev fails to get this all his own way. Anyone who has watched Botic Van De Zandschulp in recent years knows that this is a player who, when hot, can tussle with the very best, and right now, the Dutch player looks hot. His efforts at the tournament so far tell us that he has a greater chance of competing than the early odds do, so taking 'Botic Van De Zandschulp +2.5 Set Handicap' is a smart move at odds of -109.
