Tallon Griekspoor vs Pablo Carreno Busta prediction
Tallon Griekspoor’s struggles in the second half of 2025 have continued at the start of this season, as he has lost his first four matches of 2026. He was beaten in straight sets by Ethan Quinn in the first-round of the Australian Open, winning just seven service games in total. He is the fourth seed in Montpellier and will hope his fortunes can change with a deep run this week.
He faces Pablo Carreno Busta. The Spaniard overcame a huge wobble in the deciding set to beat Miomir Kecmanovic in his first-round match. Carreno Busta lost the first set but broke right at the start of the second and went on to level the match. He looked set for victory as he broke twice to go 5-1 up, only for Kecmanovic to keep his hopes alive as he won five games in a row to turn the match on its head. Carreno Busta showed great resolve to reset and win the tiebreak, claiming a 4-6 6-3 7-6 (4) win.
Griekspoor has been performing well below his level for quite some time now, and he is likely to encounter problems against Carreno Busta if familiar problems in his game persist.
Tallon Griekspoor vs Pablo Carreno Busta tip: Over 22.5 games
