Botic van de Zandschulp was not pleased with the quality of the tennis balls used on Friday after his Davis Cup defeat. The Dutchman also had difficulty with the speed of the job.
Van de Zandschulp lost in two sets of the Argentinian Francisco Cerúndolo in Groningen. The 29-year-old Dutchman forced a tiebreak in the first set, but did not stand a chance in the second set: 6-7 (4) and 1-6.
“It is an incredibly slow job,” Van de Zandschulp told Ziggo Sport after the game in Martiniplaza. “Really very slow. The intention was to get it quickly, but it didn’t work out. Cerúndolo was able to hit it, because he has a lot of power on his own.”
Van de Zandschulp was not pleased with the quality of tennis balls. “I played the best with new balls. I broke his service with new balls, I served well with new balls. That happened both in the first and second set.”
“That says a lot about the quality of the balls. I have to say that this was extreme. But it does not help that we both break through reasonably well. He has even more impact on that ball. That is very handsome of him. It was a very good party of him.”
Due to the defeat of Van de Zandschulp, the Netherlands is 2-0 behind Argentina. Earlier in the day, Jesper de Jong lost to Tomás Martín Etcheverry. On Saturday, a doubles and two single games are on the program. The winner of the meeting qualifies for the Davis Cup Finals in November.
