Looking for high-value tennis predictions today for the US Open? If so, the upcoming third-round contest between Van de Zandschulp and Draper is worth investigating. I’ve analysed this clash and broken down a couple of key markets with the latest odds, too, as explained below.

Our favourite Botic Van de Zandschulp vs Jack Draper predictions

Welcome to the battle of the big hitters. Van de Zandschulp is a guy who goes all-in on the tennis court, smoking the ball from both the forehand and backhand wings. And Draper operates with a very similar style, trying to work his forehand into the game to dominate his opponents. 

They are both playing fine tennis at the minute too, which makes me think that the following markets are good choices:

Van de Zandschulp to win a set – yes @ 13/20 (1.65)

It seems an absolute steal to cover Van de Zandschulp to win a set against Jack Draper. After all, we’re talking about a guy who just beat Alcaraz in straight sets. So, is it likely he will take a set from Draper? In my opinion, the answer is a resounding yes!

Over 36.5 games @ 10/11 (1.91)

Although Draper seems heavily favoured to scoop up an easy win here, I can’t see things working out that way. Van de Zandschulp’s game is just too big, and his performance over Alcaraz confirms he is the real deal. But Draper is playing great tennis, too, which makes me think this will go to four or even five sets.

The big-hitting showdown – will Van de Zandschulp topple another young gun?

Let’s discuss both of these individuals in greater detail through a couple of previews.

Botic Van de Zandschulp preview

As I’m sure you know, Van de Zandschulp is the man who took down the 3rd seed, Carlos Alcaraz, in the previous round. He is one of the biggest hitters on tour, and his game is essentially perfect for the rapid hard courts of New York. Additionally, he must be riding a serious wave of confidence after beating the guy who has won the last two Grand Slams!

Jack Draper preview

Draper is enjoying the form of his life in 2024. He is now ranked 25 in the world, and he is capable of challenging all of the big guns on tour with his powerful game. That said, he has yet to be challenged really at the 2024 US Open, but this will certainly change as he battles Van de Zandschulp.

Van de Zandschulp vs Draper head to head

Believe it or not, Van de Zandschulp and Draper have never played each other on the ATP Tour. Therefore, the official head-to-head record between the two is 0-0.
