The 29th ranked Dutchman will meet either second seed Matteo Berrettini, of Italy, or Tommy Paul, of the United States, for a spot in the final.

Botic van de Zandschulp, who had made a surprising run to the quarter-finals at last year’s US Open, had scored wins over British qualifier Paul Jubb (7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-1) and Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (7-6 (5), 6-3) in previous matches in the tournament.
