🎾 ATP Madrid: Tallon Griekspoor vs Jack Draper – Match Preview
🧠 Form & Context
🇳🇱 Tallon Griekspoor
- Dominant Start: Eased past Vit Kopriva 6-1, 6-3 in R1, winning over 90% of first-serve points without facing a break point.
- Season Consistency: Now 17–9 in 2025, reaching at least the quarterfinals in five of nine tournaments, including two clay events.
- Clay Success: Finalist in Marrakech (lost to Darderi) and nearly upset Zverev in Munich last week.
- Madrid Upside: Upset Holger Rune here last year to reach R16—one of his rare top-20 wins in an otherwise tough 2023 record against elite players.
🇬🇧 Jack Draper
- Growing Reputation: Has steadily built confidence but still seeking a breakthrough on clay.
- Monte Carlo Challenge: Lost a tight three-setter to Davidovich Fokina in his clay opener this season.
- Surface Adaptation: Madrid’s faster clay should suit his big game more than traditional slow courts.
- Madrid Struggles: Early exits in the past, losing to Rublev and Hurkacz in previous second-round appearances.
