Nikoloz Basilashvili vs Botic Van De Zandschulp — R16 — Chengdu Open

Nikoloz Basilashvili, ranked ATP No. 145, beat fourth seed Botic Van De Zandschulp in the Chengdu Open round of 16. No set-by-set score was recorded for the completed match. What is on record is the serving: Basilashvili held all 11 of his service games and won 36 of 38 first-serve points, 95 percent against Van De Zandschulp's 72. Van De Zandschulp, ATP No. 40, had a first-round bye and was playing his first match since losing to Alexander Zverev in the US Open quarterfinals. The betting market favored him at 60 percent. He won none of his 11 return games, saved three of the five break points he faced and served five double faults. Basilashvili, 34, has slid from ATP No. 107 at the start of the season to 145, and his 7-6(3), 6-4 win over Miomir Kecmanovic in the previous round was his first since mid-July. He meets Jenson Brooksby, ranked 77th, in the quarterfinals.
