Playing styles and prediction
Griekspoor has found confidence on the challenger circuit but hasn’t translated that form onto the main tour as consistently as he would like, which is something that will need to be worked on next season. The Dutchman has a big serve and will look to use that to his advantage over the indoor hard court swing.
Evans will look to return will efficiency with the block return being one of the keys to this match tactically. The Brit’s slice will be useful in this kind of match as he will look to neutralise Griekspoor’s power and spin. As long as Evans can keep a consistent level then he should have enough to reach the second round in Antwerp.
Prediction: Evans in straight sets.
