Griekspoor slow to start then much superior?

Logical favorite on paper but without a match since Wimbledon, you will have to get right back into your match against a player who is not going to let go!

I'm often tough on Broady but you have to admit that he knows how to fight and shows resilience. His match against Moutet was far from easy to see tricky and he got away with it by staying strong in the head. On the other hand, we still saw his famous air pockets which I often talk about, he leads 5/3 and finds himself saving a set point against him at 6/5. He was superior in the game but in the end he scared himself and went close to embarking on a match that could have ended badly despite his dominance. Against Griekspoor he will have to be clean from start to finish if he wants to win. The Dutchman is coming off a very good season on grass and likes hard speeds like here. This season when it's slower like in Indian Wells, Dubai or Doha, his results are less good when we saw him go far in Pune or Rotterdam, two very fast hard court tournaments. I think the speed and the terrain should suit him well here and after big wins on grass he obviously comes in with confidence.
