Tallon Griekspoor vs Alexander Blockx prediction
Tallon Griekspoor ended a three-match losing run in Madrid last time out, but he still suffered an early exit as he was defeated by Lorenzo Musetti in the third-round. Aside from a superb run to the final of the Dubai Tennis Championships, which saw him withdraw before the final took place due to injury, the Dutchman has struggled for consistent results this season.
He faces Alexander Blockx in round two after receiving a bye. Blockx recovered from going a set down to beat Federico Cina. He regained his rhythm in the second set as he went on to win 4-6 6-1 6-3. The Belgian enjoyed a breakthrough event in Madrid last time out, reaching his first ever semi-final at a Masters 1000.
Blockx is in the ascendancy at the moment, and is worth backing against Griekspoor, who is yet to get going on clay so far this season.
