If Kwon can put up some resistance to Zverev, why not Griekspoor? Especially as the Dutchman is playing in his home country. Sasha can’t boast a consistent performance so far, so we doubt he’ll be able to beat such an opponent easily.
Against Kwon, Zverev played 23 games. It is likely that we will see something similar in the next encounter. Griekspoor has a good serve, so the match shouldn’t end quickly.
Griekspoor started the tournament with a win over Mikael Ymer (7-6, 7-5) of Sweden. A completely even match, with the Dutchman slightly better at the end of the sets.
At the beginning of February, Griekspoor had a hard-fought win over Lukas Klein of Slovakia in the Davis Cup.
However, January was a real success for him. Early last month, Griekspoor won a tournament in Pune, India. Soon after that, he managed to make it two rounds at the Australian Open. Before losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas (2-6, 6-7, 3-6), he defeated Pavel Kotov (6-3, 7-6, 6-3) and Botic Van de Zandschulp (6-4, 6-4, 6-4).
Last year, Griekspoor lost to Marton Fucsovics (4-6, 6-7) in the second round of the Rotterdam Open.
Griekspur has lost seven times in their previous ten meetings against strong serving opponents.
Sasha defeated Kwon Soon-woo (6-4, 7-6) in the first round. As expected, it wasn’t easy, but there was no drama.
Zverev served well this time. He managed to win 84% of his first serve. At the same time, the accuracy of the first serve was 75%.
The German didn’t play so well on the second ball, winning only 30%.
However, overall, of course, Zverev had a great match. It is noticeable that he is gradually approaching his former form.
It is worth noting that Zverev played five times at the Rotterdam tournament, but only once did he reach the quarter-finals. This, by the way, is his best result here.
Zverev has six wins in his last seven matches against wild-card holders.
