Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the upcoming match at the Sud de France Arena in Montpellier, Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands will take on Jesper de Jong, also from the Netherlands. This will be their first-ever meeting on the ATP Tour.

Tallon Griekspoor, who is currently 28 years old, holds the 46th spot in the world rankings. He achieved a career-high ranking of 21st in November and has a career record of 95 wins and 95 losses, with two titles to his name. In 2023, he had a breakthrough season, earning his personal-best 36 wins and winning his first ATP Tour title in Pune. He also reached his career-high ranking during this time. On home soil, Griekspoor won his second title at the 2023 ‘s-Hertogenbosch tournament. In 2024, he had a notable victory over No. 8-ranked Hubert Hurkacz in Rotterdam after rallying from a set down. Griekspoor has a knack for coming back from behind, as he has done so against several notable opponents, including Stan Wawrinka, Karen Khachanov, Aslan Karatsev, Alexander Zverev, and Alex de Minaur. He has earned 5 of his 12 career Top-20 wins on home soil. Griekspoor’s current ATP Tour event record stands at 3 wins and 2 losses in the 2025 season.

The match in question will take place at the Sud de France Arena in Montpellier, France, from 27th January to 2nd February in 2025. Griekspoor has had a highly successful run on the ATP Challenger Tour in 2021, winning 8 titles and ending the year with 25 consecutive wins, which is a single-season record. Notably, in this tournament, Griekspoor ousted the three-time champion Richard Gasquet in the second round, and he now aims to reach his 8th ATP Tour semifinal, with a record of 3 wins and 4 losses in this stage. Griekspoor has been particularly strong on indoor hard courts, with a 4th appearance in the semifinals on this surface. In his last 10 matches against players ranked outside the Top 20, he boasts a 9-1 record. Interestingly, since the beginning of the 2023 season, Griekspoor trails only behind Jannik Sinner in terms of indoor wins. If Griekspoor emerges victorious in this match, he will become the first Dutch player to reach the semifinals in the history of this tournament.

On the other side of the net, Jesper de Jong will be competing in his first ever ATP Tour quarterfinal. De Jong, 24 years old, is currently ranked 131st in the world, with a career-high ranking of 103rd in August 2024. He made significant progress in his career, breaking into the Top 500 in 2019 and reaching the Top 200 in 2022. He achieved his career-high ranking soon after winning his third Challenger title in Sassuolo. De Jong made his ATP Tour debut at the 2022 ‘s-Hertogenbosch tournament as a wildcard, and in the 2024 Australian Open, he earned his first tour-level win with a victory over Cachin in the main draw debut of a Grand Slam. De Jong had a successful run in Grand Slam qualifying in 2024, with a record of 9 wins and 2 losses. He entered the draws as a qualifier at the Australian Open and Roland Garros, losing to eventual champions Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the second round. De Jong also has a strong record on the Challenger circuit, with a 4-8 career record and one quarterfinal appearance. In 2021, he reached his first final and claimed his first title in Almaty-2. In his junior career, de Jong reached a ranking high of 38th and won a match at all four junior Grand Slam events in 2018, reaching the quarterfinals of the doubles events at Roland Garros and the semifinals of the doubles event at the US Open with his respective partners.

If De Jong triumphs in this match, he will become the sixth active Dutch player to reach an ATP Tour semifinal, joining the likes of Robin Haase, Tallon Griekspoor, Botic van de Zandschulp, Jesse Huta Galung, and Bart van den Berg.

To summarize, Tallon Griekspoor and Jesper de Jong will face off in their first-ever encounter on the ATP Tour. Griekspoor, who is ranked 46th in the world, has had notable successes, including two titles and a career-high ranking of 21st. De Jong, currently ranked 131st, is competing in his first ATP Tour quarterfinal and bids to secure his third Top 50 win. The winner of this match will become the first Dutch player to reach the semifinals in the history of the Montpellier tournament.
