The Netherlands secured a clean sweep against Colombia in Den Bosch, winning all three rubbers to book their place in the first round of qualifying for the 2027 Davis Cup. The result caps what team captain Paul Haarhuis described as a successful return to form for a squad that had been through a turbulent period in recent months.

The tie opened on Friday at the Maaspoort venue in Den Bosch, a city in the southern Netherlands, where Botic van de Zandschulp (ATP 40) made hard work of an opening win against debutant Jonathan Rodriguez, ranked 829 in the world, eventually prevailing 4-6, 6-1, 7-5. Van de Zandschulp later admitted he had underestimated his opponent and was still adjusting to slower indoor clay after playing on the hard courts of the US Open.
