Novak Djokovic vs. Tallon Griekspoor: Preview and betting tips

On Thursday, tennis fans will be treated to more matches in the second round of the US Open, the last grand slam of the current season. One of the matches will be Novak Djokovic and Tallon Griekspoor. Will the world number one confirm his role as the big favourite?

Novak Djokovic is currently at the top of the ATP rankings and nothing will change that even at the US Open, where he can complete a seasonal grand slam for the first time in his career (winning the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open in one year).

In the first round, Novak Djokovic was able to take on Rune, a Danish youngster who is only 18 years old. Although the world number one lost one set, she only lost four games in the rest of the match.

His opponent on Thursday will be Tallon Griekspoor, the twenty-five-year-old from the Netherlands. Although he is currently ranked 121st on the ATP rankings, it was enough to avoid the qualification fights.

At the start of the tournament, Griekspoor ran into German tennis player Struff. He fought him in a five-set battle that lasted 221 minutes. During that time, the Prague Challenger winner scored 30 aces, a very solid performance.

So what’s your bet? Novak Djokovic is the undisputed favourite for Thursday’s match. He is very likely to win in three sets, but he will certainly not have an easy time of it.
