Tommy Paul Faces Botic van de Zandschulp in Queen's Quarter-Finals Bid
Tommy Paul will face Botic van de Zandschulp on Wednesday for a place in the Queen's Club Championship quarter-finals.
The American tennis player is looking to make the quarter-finals of a singles tournament on tour for the sixth time this year.
Paul got past Zachary Svajda in straight sets 7-5 6-3 on Monday, while Van de Zandschulp defeated Harry Wendelken 6-4 7-6 (7-5).
The two players have met twice before, with Van de Zandschulp winning both times, including a 7-6 6-2 victory in the Davis Cup round robin in 2023.
Paul won 87% of his first serves in his opening match and has hit over 200 aces this year, while Van de Zandschulp has won over 65% of his service games on grass in 2026.
Tommy Paul's serve will be a handful for Van de Zandschulp, who does not play as well when he is on the run, making Paul the likely winner in three sets.
**Tommy Paul:**
**First round:** vs. Zachary Svajda 7-5 6-3
**Botic van de Zandschulp:**
**First round:** vs. Harry Wendelken 6-4 7-6 (7-5)
A win for Paul would see him advance to the quarter-finals, where he would face another tough opponent in his bid for the title.
This match is crucial for Paul's chances of winning the tournament, and a strong performance will be needed if he is to overcome Van de Zandschulp and reach the last eight.
