Player profile

Zdenek Kolar built a five-title Challenger career around clay-court persistence

Zdenek Kolar won three Challenger titles in 2021, at Oeiras, Iasi and Szczecin, before finally converting his seventeenth Grand Slam qualifying attempt at Roland Garros in 2022. He defeated Lucas Pouille for his first tour-level win and took a set from 2021 finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas in round two, a run that helped him reach a career-high No. 111. Kolar later won a home Challenger in Ostrava in 2023 and added a fifth trophy in Sofia in 2025 without dropping a set. The Czech player's resume is therefore shaped by repeated clay events, delayed major access and a capacity to rebuild after ranking setbacks.

US Open story

Zdenek Kolar seeks a first US Open main draw against Borna Gojo

Kolar has not reached the US Open men's singles main draw. His 2026 qualifying campaign begins against Borna Gojo, whose serve and hard-court results present a very different problem from the clay route behind Kolar's Roland Garros breakthrough. Three wins are required for a New York debut, leaving the opener as the first of three elimination matches. Kolar already understands a long wait for major access after sixteen unsuccessful qualifying attempts before Paris in 2022. The current objective is to reproduce that persistence on a faster surface and record a first US Open qualifying win before considering the main field.

What to watch

Zdenek Kolar versus Borna Gojo begins with the return of serve

Kolar's ATP biography identifies clay as his favorite surface and the forehand as his preferred shot. Against Gojo, he may have fewer neutral rallies in which to organize that forehand because the Croatian's serve can decide points early. Kolar needs compact returns through the middle, then enough depth to keep Gojo from attacking the next ball inside the baseline. His four-set match with Tsitsipas showed he can compete against superior first-strike pace once exchanges develop. Fans should watch the number of playable returns rather than rally length alone; that figure will determine whether Kolar can bring his proven clay-court construction into the New York match.
