Andrey Rublev vs Tallon Griekspoor prediction

Andrey Rublev booked a spot in his third semi-final of 2026 as he continues to suggest he is returning to his best.

The Russian ruthlessly demolished an in-form Arthur Rinderknech 6-2 6-4 and will now tackle another player enjoying a hot streak.

Tallon Griekspoor had won one in his last eight heading into Rotterdam but has now lost only one of his last six, including a superb 6-3 3-6 6-2 success against sixth seed Jakub Mensik in the last eight here.

Rublev leads this match-up 3-0 but their only encounter on a hardcourt came in Doha three years ago when he needed a final-set tie-break to prevail 1-6 6-1 7-6.

These rapid conditions are allowing both of these players to unload off the plus-one forehand to great effect and it’ll come down to who does that best.

Rublev is a former champion and has the psychological edge as well as a desire to reach a third final here, but don’t rule out Grieki getting at least one set. 

Andrey Rublev vs Tallon Griekspoor tip: Over 2.5 sets
