Command Analysis

Tallon Griekspoor

Current form
Griekspoor won the first round of the competition in Montpellier against Botik Van de Zandschulp (7-5, 6-3). Tallon served eight aces, converted four break points and lost two games on his serve in the match against his compatriot.
Professional qualities
Griekspoor is a versatile tennis player with good attacking abilities on the baseline. His style cannot be called monotonous, as he successfully varies his strokes. An important role in his game is played by the first serve, which is especially effective on indoor surfaces. It is also worth noting his confidence in the game at the net. However, there are also weaknesses - an unstable return and a not very reliable backhand, which sometimes prevent him from achieving higher results.
Current indicators in the tour
Griekspoor is ranked 46th in the world. The Dutchman won his last trophy in 2023 at the grass court competition in Hertonbosch. In total, Tallon has won 20 trophies in his career, two of which are ATP categories.
Interesting facts for betting
Seven of Griekspoor last 10 matches have ended in straight sets.

Richard Gasquet

Current form
Gasquet advanced to the second round of the competition in Montpellier thanks to a victory over Adrian Mannarino (6-3, 6-2). Richard served four aces, converted three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve during the match against his compatriot. For the Frenchman, this was the second victory this season after two defeats.
Professional qualities
Gasquet is a veteran of the tour whose peak form is in the past. Now he is not as dangerous as ten years ago, but continues to delight fans with his filigree technique. The Frenchman main asset is a magnificent one-handed backhand, one of the best in the history of tennis. Although it is not as powerful as Wawrinka, it is extremely stable and almost never fails. But his forehand is a weak point that makes Richard vulnerable. In modern tennis, it is becoming increasingly difficult to remain competitive without a powerful forehand.
Current indicators in the tour
Gasquet is currently ranked 132nd in the world. Once, let us recall, Richard was seventh. Last season, the Frenchman won the open hard challenger in Cassis. In total, he has won 29 trophies in his career, 16 of which are ATP categories.
Interesting facts for betting
Gasquet has won 12 of his last 16 games against Dutch players.
