Alexander Zverev vs Tallon Griekspoor preview
Third seed Alexander Zverev will face Tallon Griekspoor in the fourth round of the French Open 2025.
Trending
Zverev, the runner-up in Paris a year ago, commenced his campaign this year with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 win over Learner Tien. He rallied from a set down to beat Jesper de Jong 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 in the second round. He was up against Flavio Cobolli for a spot in the fourth round.
Zverev was off to a fast start thanks to a double break in the first set. Even though Cobolli fended off a couple of set points on his own serve in the seventh game, it only delayed the inevitable. The German closed out the set on his own serve after that to take the lead.
Zverev rallied from a break down twice in the second set to force a tie-break, in which he came out on top. He then sprinted to the finish line, conceding only one game in the third set for a 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-1 win.
Griekspoor defeated Marcos Giron and Gabriel Diallo in four sets each to set up a third-round meeting with qualifier Ethan Quinn. The Dutch player bounced back to take the second set after dropping the opening one.
Quinn snagged the third set as well to put himself on the cusp of victory. Griekspoor claimed the fourth set for the loss of only one game to keep himself in contention. He raced to a 5-1 lead in the deciding set but encountered some resistance from the qualifier, who bagged the next three games. Griekspoor served out the match on his second try to score a 4-6, 6-1, 6-7(2), 6-1, 6-4 win.

Alexander Zverev vs Tallon Griekspoor prediction
Griekspoor scored a massive comeback win over Quinn to reach the fourth round of a Major for the first time. Zverev, on the other hand, advanced to this stage of the French Open for the eighth consecutive year. Additionally, he hasn't lost prior to the semifinals here since 2021.
Despite the lopsided head-to-head in Zverev's favor, this rivalry has been quite compelling. Griekspoor snapped his five-match losing streak against the German to beat him in three tough sets at the BNP Paribas Open in March this year.
Griekspoor had Zverev on the ropes in their recent showdown in Munich as well. However, the latter scored a comeback win to extend his winning record in the rivalry. The two faced off in the third round of last year's French Open, with the German needing five sets to get over the finish line.
This could be another close contest between the two. Zverev's record at the tournament and against Griekspoor makes him the favorite. However, if he continues to play passively in key moments like he did in his recent losses, then the German could pay the price for the same.
Pick: Alexander Zverev to win in five sets.
