NOVAK DJOKOVIC VS TALLON GRIEKSPOOR PREDICTION

This could be a fascinating clash between world number one Novak Djokovic and number 27 Tallon Griekspoor, with the Dutchman set to play his second match of the day. The 27-year-old saw his match with Denis Shapovalov rained-off at 7-6 3-3 last night but he returned with renewed vigour earlier today to beat the Canadian.

Griekspoor’s playstyle and general manner is likely to benefit from a run-up to facing Djokovic but the top seed will be well aware of his opponent’s predicament and he could use it to his advantage, playing the long game this afternoon in an attempt to bring his game up to a more recognisable level on clay. The Serb turned 37 years old yesterday whilst beating Yannick Hanfmann in straight sets and he will be desperate to claim his first title of a frustrating season – just in time to peak at Roland-Garros.

Griekspoor took the first set of their last encounter before defeat at the Paris Masters in November and that makes backing Djokovic to win outright the suitably cautious move. You could consider taking the Dutchman to snatch the first set on momentum here before falling away.
