Botic van de Zandschulp has won both of his previous meetings against Taylor Fritz in straight sets, and with Fritz not at his best in terms of form and confidence, this matchup could again be more competitive than expected.

Dutch Challenge Looks Limited

  • Botic van de Zandschulp has multiple Masters main-draw wins only once in two years. 
  • He lost five of his last six matches vs Top 10 players.
  • Taylor Fritz is 8–1 in second-round matches at Masters since 2025.

Zandschulp Secures Solid Win

Botic van de Zandschulp defeated Denis Shapovalov 7-5, 6-3 to reach the second round in Miami. He saved five of six break points and converted four of his six chances. 

The win ends a three-match losing streak on tour. He has played six events this year, registering multiple wins only twice, with a third round at the Australian Open and a quarterfinal in Rotterdam. 

Since the start of 2024, he has played 12 Masters events and recorded multiple wins just once, reaching the third round in Indian Wells last year.

Fritz Eyes Confidence Boost

Taylor Fritz has been short of confidence in recent weeks, suffering early exits in Delray Beach and Indian Wells. Both losses came against players ranked outside the top 20. 

His season began with a disappointing United Cup campaign, losing three of four matches. However, he showed signs of improvement with a fourth-round run at the Australian Open and a final in Dallas. 

Fritz now needs to build on those results to regain his level. With semifinal points to defend in Miami, another early exit could put his top-10 ranking at risk. 

Despite recent struggles, he has been reliable in Masters second rounds, losing just once in nine matches since the start of 2025, with that defeat coming against Marcos Giron in Rome.
