Tallon Griekspoor and Roberto Bautista-Agut meet in the second round of the 2022 tennis Halle Open.
Tallon Griekspoor is coming off a straight set win over Alex Molcan that took 22 games to decide. In the victory, Griekspoor won 80 percent of his first serve points and 50 percent of his second serve points. Griekspoor won 71 percent of his total service points and converted on 1 of his 4 break points. Griekspoor got 70 percent of his first serves in play and hit 10 aces. It was easily one of Griekspoor’s best performances of the season, as he’s been hit or miss all year and was riding a four-match losing streak at one point. Griekspoor has won 8 of his last 10 sets if you include qualifying matches. Griekspoor has won 7 of his last 9 matches on grass court.
Roberto Bautista-Agut is coming off a straight set win over Marton Fucsovics that took 11 games to decide. In the victory, Bautista-Agut won 77 percent of his first serve points and 40 percent of his second serve points. Bautista-Agut won 67 percent of his total service points and converted on 4 of his 7 break points. Bautista-Agut got 72 percent of his first serves in play and saved 2 of his 3 break points. Bautista-Agut should be well rested after his opponent retired in the second set, and he only played 46 minutes. Bautista-Agut looks to win two straight matches for the first time since winning Doha back in February. Bautista-Agut has won 5 of his last 7 matches on grass court.
There’s no match history between these two players.
You can make a case for Griekspoor with the way he served his last time out and his play over his last few sets. Bautista-Agut hasn’t exactly played great over the last few months. With that said, I’ll assume Bautista-Agut can build on his last effort and the slower pace usually gives him the edge. We also can’t ignore Griekspoor has had issues making deep runs this year on the main tour, so I won’t be fooled just yet.
Give me Bautista-Agut and the reasonable price.
