The match lasted an hour and a half, but the sets were 6:3, 6:3 in favor of the Dutchman. Damir started the match well with a break right at the beginning, but he lost his next two service games, which ultimately was enough for Van de Zandschulp to take the lead in sets. Unlike the first set, Damir did not secure a single break in the second, and since he again lost both of his service games, he also lost the second set 6:3. Van de Zandschulp will play in the semifinals of this clay-court tournament in Romania against the winner of the match between Alex Molcan (Slovakia) and Mariano Navone (Argentina).
