Andrey Rublev vs Tallon Griekspoor prediction
Rublev will enter the match as the heavy favorite to win, but Griekspoor will be in good spirits after defeating Hurkacz.
The Russian has been very strong on his first serve so far in Halle, serving eight aces while winning 75 points out of 97. He also hit 47 winners while producing only 21 unforced errors.
Rublev has a solid serve and forehand and will look to dictate points from the start of the match. He will be keen to be aggressive from the start of the match and put pressure on Griekspoor.
The Dutchman has also been very effective on his first serve in his last two matches, with 19 aces and 80 points out of 104 won. He also hit 60 winners, compared to a significantly lower unforced error tally of 28.
Griekspoor will look to dominate his service games and will have to up his return game if he is to overcome Rublev.
The last meeting between the two was a tightly fought one, and this one promises to be an interesting fixture. However, Rublev's recent run of form should see him get by and reach the semifinals of the Terra Wortmann Open.
