A month ago, the tennis players played a head-to-head encounter. The match took place in the Davis Cup. Evans defeated Griekspoor (6-4, 6-4). Tallon’s game has not changed significantly in the last month.
Griekspoor has lost interest in tennis. He is acting too unwillingly. With such an approach to the game, one can hardly expect any resistance from Tallon.
Evans has had a great run over the past few months, which has kept him in the top 30.
Firstly, Dan sensationally reached the semi-finals at the Montreal Masters in August. In Canada, Dan defeated Andrey Rublev (6-4, 6-4), Taylor Fritz (7-6, 1-6, 7-5) and Tommy Paul (1-6, 6-3, 6-4), but was unable to get past Pablo Carreno-Busta (5-7, 7-6, 2-6).
At the US Open, Evans went two rounds before losing to Marin Cilic (6-7, 7-6, 2-6, 5-7).
In San Diego, Dan came within one step of making the final. After that, however, tournaments in Seoul and Tokyo were not very good, but Evans is still a serious player.
Evans has eight wins in his last ten matches as a favourite.
Meanwhile, Griekspor’s losing streak at the ATP level now stands at five matches.
After Winston-Salem, where he reached the second round, the Dutchman has not won a single match at the US Open, Tel Aviv, Astana and Florence.
Tallon was unable to finish his match against Aslan Karatsev last week due to an injury.
Griekspoor has amassed a collection of Challengers titles in the last few years, but he has yet to make his mark at a higher level.
Griekspoor has lost five of his previous seven meetings with the seeded players.
In 3 of Evans’ last 4 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.97.
