- Head-to-Head
- Pavlovic’s Surprise Run Opens New Doors
- Van de Zandschulp Targets Deeper Run on Home Soil
He produced a couple of strong wins in qualifying over the weekend and arrives with momentum. That makes him an interesting option for the first set, even if sustaining that level across the full match may be a bigger challenge.
Stats - Pavlovic Steps Up to Tour Level
- Luka Pavlovic has won only two matches this year, both in the Rotterdam qualifying draw.
- Pavlovic is set to make his debut in a main draw match at tour level.
- Botic van de Zandschulp is on a three match losing streak in Rotterdam.
- He posted a negative 5-9 record on indoor hard courts last year.
Head-to-Head
First meeting between the pair.
Pavlovic’s Surprise Run Opens New Doors
Luka Pavlovic enjoyed the best weekend of his career in the Rotterdam qualifiers. He beat Billy Harris and Hamad Medjedovic as a clear underdog in both matches to earn a main draw spot.
The surge was unexpected given he had lost both matches last month in straight sets to Colton Smith and Marek Gengel.
Motivation should be very high as this is his first chance to play a main draw match at tour level. A win here would also push him back toward the top 200 in the rankings.

Van de Zandschulp Targets Deeper Run on Home Soil
Botic van de Zandschulp is a former national number one and this is his home event, yet Rotterdam has rarely been kind to him. He has played here eight times and six of those runs ended in the first round or in qualifying.
His best results at this event are two second round appearances in 2022 and 2023. He will be eager to improve on that record this week and finally put together a deeper run at home.
He does arrive with some positive momentum from earlier in the season. He reached the second round in Hong Kong and the third round at the Australian Open.
All three of his losses this year have come against top 50 players in Alexander Bublik, Novak Djokovic, and Ugo Humbert.

Verdict
Pavlovic lacks experience at this level but showed in qualifying that he has the tools to compete, even against solid opposition.
The confidence from those wins should help him start the match with belief. He is still hard to trust to win over the full distance, yet he has enough quality to keep things competitive early. Pavlovic +1.5 games in the first set looks appealing, along with a lean toward over games in the match.
Pavlovic +1.5
