The second-round match at ATP Rotterdam 500 features Stefanos Tsitsipas taking on home favourite Tallon Griekspoor in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. Tsitsipas is coming off a much-needed confidence-boosting win, while Griekspoor had to fight hard against Matteo Berrettini. The slower indoor court conditions in Rotterdam slightly favour the Greek player, and his recent positive mindset could be a key factor in this match.
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Tallon Griekspoor Preview
Tsitsipas ended his losing streak with a convincing straight-sets victory over Harold Mayot in the first round. While that was an expected win, it was a crucial one for his confidence. He recently mentioned how his girlfriend, Paula Badosa, has been a source of motivation, and this could be a turning point in his season. When Tsitsipas finds his rhythm, he can be a dominant force, especially in medium-paced indoor conditions that suit his strong baseline game and net play.
Griekspoor had a tough opening round against Matteo Berrettini, where he had to dig deep to secure the win. The Dutchman thrives in indoor conditions, but the slightly slower surface in Rotterdam may work against his game style. Playing at home is always an advantage, but against a resurging Tsitsipas, he will need to be at his absolute best. His serve and aggressive play will be key, but breaking down Tsitsipas’ defence won’t be easy.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Tallon Griekspoor – Match Analysis
Both players have strong serving games, and we can expect a match with few break opportunities. However, Tsitsipas’ superior consistency from the baseline and improved confidence should give him the edge. If he stays aggressive on Griekspoor’s second serve and dominates with his forehand, he should come out on top.
Griekspoor will try to push Tsitsipas with his flat groundstrokes and take advantage of any mental lapses, but given Tsitsipas’ renewed motivation and the slightly slower court conditions, the Greek player looks better positioned to win.

The best bet for this match is Stefanos Tsitsipas to win. His confidence is back, and the conditions slightly favour his game. A secondary bet could be Over 22.5 Games, as both players serve well and could push each other to a tight match.
