Van de Zandschulp's breakthrough occurred at the 2021 US Open when he became the third qualifier in US Open history to reach the quarterfinals of the tournament, after defeating seeded Casper Ruud and Diego Schwartzman. He was also the third man to progress to the main draw of all four majors through qualifying in one year, the others being Elias Ymer in 2015 and Frank Dancevic in 2011.[4] In 2022, Van de Zandschulp reached his maiden ATP Tour final at the Bavarian International Tennis Championships.

He became the No. 1 Dutch player again on 30 August 2021 at World No. 117 in the rankings.
Despite having only 5 ATP tour match wins before the US Open, Van de Zandschulp qualified for the last major of the year, thus becoming the only man to progress to the main draw of all four majors through qualifying that year.[8] He reached the third round of a major for the first time, defeating world No. 11 and eight seed Casper Ruud.[9][10] He next defeated Facundo Bagnis to reach the fourth round.
