Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In their previous matchups, Stefanos Tsitsipas has a 2-0 lead against Tallon Griekspoor. The first meeting took place at the 2023 Australian Open on hard courts, where Tsitsipas emerged victorious with a scoreline of 6-2, 7-6(5), 6-3 in the Round of 32. Their second encounter occurred at the 2025 Rotterdam tournament, also on hard courts. Tsitsipas once again emerged as the winner after a grueling battle, with a final score of 6-7(5), 7-6(6), 7-5 in the Round of 16. Griekspoor remarkably saved a match point during this match.

Tallon Griekspoor, aged 28, is currently ranked world number 47. He reached a career-high ranking of number 21 in November and has had a solid 2025 season so far, with a 7-4 record. Griekspoor achieved his personal-best 36 wins in 2023, winning his first ATP Tour title in Pune and reaching his career-high ranking of number 21 in November of that year. In 2023-24, Griekspoor had an impressive home record of 17-3, which included winning his second title at the 2023 ‘s-Hertogenbosch tournament. He also showed his resilience by rallying from a set down to defeat number 8 Hubert Hurkacz en route to the Rotterdam semifinals in 2024. Griekspoor has a history of overcoming deficits in Rotterdam, having rallied from a set down in previous years against players such as Stan Wawrinka in 2018, Karen Khachanov in 2019, Aslan Karatsev in 2022, Alexander Zverev in 2023, and Alex de Minaur in ‘s-Hertogenbosch in 2023. He has a total of 14 top-20 wins on home soil.

Griekspoor’s performance on the ATP Challenger Tour in 2021 was remarkable as well, with a record of 42-7 overall and going undefeated in the finals, winning all eight. This outstanding year included a single-season record for most titles and ending the season with 25 consecutive victories. Notably, in the 2025 Dubai tournament, Griekspoor had some remarkable victories, saving three match points against Ravil Safiullin in the first round and an impressive four match points against number 6 Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals. Griekspoor’s win over Medvedev is considered the biggest win of his career so far. In this tournament, he seeks his fourth ATP Tour final, with a current record of 2-1 in previous finals. His last final at a level above ATP 250 was at the 2023 Washington tournament, where he finished as the runner-up, falling to Dan Evans. Griekspoor’s recent performance against top 20 players has been notable, with a record of 4-17 since March, including wins over number 15 Ugo Humbert and number 6 Daniil Medvedev.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is a 26-year-old player hailing from Greece, currently ranked world number 11. He achieved his career-high ranking of number 3 in August 2021. Tsitsipas has an impressive record against top 3 opponents, with 11 wins in total (2 against world number 1, 4 against world number 2, and 5 against world number 3). He has reached the semifinals of six Grand Slam tournaments, with notable runs at the 2021 Roland Garros and the 2023 Australian Open, where he reached the finals but was defeated by Novak Djokovic on both occasions. Tsitsipas has also had success in prestigious tournaments such as the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals and the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals, where he emerged as the champion at the young ages of 20 and 21, respectively. He has won a total of 11 ATP Tour titles, including three ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo titles in 2021, 2022, and 2024. However, Tsitsipas is yet to clinch an ATP 500 title, with a record of 0-11 in finals for this category.

An interesting fact about Tsitsipas is that he became the youngest player, before turning 21, to defeat all three of the so-called “Big 3” – Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal – with wins over Djokovic in the 2018 Toronto round of 16, Federer in the 2019 Australian Open round of 16, and Nadal in the 2019 Madrid semifinals. Tsitsipas is aiming to reach his 30th tour-level final, with a current record of 11-18 in finals. If he reaches the final of this tournament, it would be his first on hard courts since the 2023 Los Cabos tournament, where he emerged as the champion, defeating Alex de Minaur. It would be his 12th ATP 500 level final, where he has a current record of 0-11. A win in this tournament would see Tsitsipas re-enter the top 10 rankings for the first time since June. Among active players, Tsitsipas would become the third player born since 1990 to reach 30 tour-level finals, alongside Daniil Medvedev (38) and Alexander Zverev (37).

In summary, Tsitsipas holds a 2-0 head-to-head advantage against Griekspoor in their previous meetings. Griekspoor has had notable successes, including his career-best 36 wins in 2023 and his two ATP Tour titles. He has also shown resilience by rallying from a set down in multiple matches, including victories over top-ranked players on home soil. Tsitsipas, on the other hand, has achieved significant milestones in his career, with impressive wins against top-ranked opponents and deep runs at Grand Slam tournaments. He is seeking his first ATP 500 title and a return to the top 10 rankings with a victory in this tournament.
