Griekspoor arrived in Hamburg after a busy week. The tournament in Amersfoort took a lot out of Tallon’s energy. He probably didn’t have enough energy to fight Rune.
Rune is stronger on the clay. However, Tallon is approaching this match in great playing form. He looked too good at the Amersfoort tournament. Tallon should put up some resistance against Rune.
Griekspoor won the Amersfoort Challenger last Sunday. He defeated Roberto Carballes Baena (6-1, 6-2) in the decisive match.
Tallon won his 30th consecutive match at the Challenger level. Remarkably, he took seven titles at tournaments in this category last year.
All in all, Griekspoor has warmed up well before the tournament in Hamburg. He also played three exhibition matches on clay at the beginning of July and won all of them.
In the spring, he played more or less well in Geneva and reached the quarter-finals. He also made one round at Roland Garros. However, on the ATP level, Griekspoor was not at his best on the clay.
Griekspoor has lost three times in his last five matches against higher-ranked opponents.
Rune failed at the Bastad tournament last week. As of late, for Rune, elimination after the first round can really be considered a serious setback.
In his first match, Holger lost in two sets to Marc-Andrea Huesler (3-6, 4-6).
After that, his losing streak reached four matches. He failed to reach a single round in Halle, Eastbourne and Wimbledon last month.
However, it must also be remembered that Holger took the title in Munich in the spring, and reached the semi-finals in Lyon and the quarter-finals at Roland Garros, making his debut in the top 30.
In 4 of Tallon’s last 6 matches, no tie-break has been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – No” with odds of 1.58.
