Holger Rune vs Tallon Griekspoor Prediction in Hamburg European Open 2022

Holger Rune has been having trouble with his form, which he hopes to improve upon after defeating Tallon Griekspoor. Griekspoor, on the other hand, will be arriving after having a successful run at the Challenger Tour as he took home a trophy.

Rune’s worst form can be accumulated by just seeing his record as he was losing against players who are not even in the top 100. However, before the French Open, he had acquired wins over top-10 players like  Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas. He got his big victories on the clay court. Therefore, on the red court of the Hamburg European Open, he will want to make quite a comeback.

Rune on focusing his shots and serving with a conservative approach might get him the much-needed win over his foe Tallon Griekspoor. Although, he needs to work harder on his serve and move forward on the clay. 

The Dutchman, whereas, is quite good when the talk is all about moving forward on the clay and also finishing a point. Griekspoor’s consistency on the claycourt will be an upperhand in his clash against Holgwer Rune.

Our Pick: Tallon Griekspoor to win in three sets.
