The champion of Hamburg vs the finalist of Washington!
Big advantage Zverev on paper but Griekspoor is in good shape!
Zverev chose to return to earth after Wimbledon and it paid off, a good tournament in Bastad then a title at home in Hamburg. He has had time to recover well since and especially to come and train here, we saw him in a training match against Sinner in particular. Anyway the German has experience to manage this kind of post-title tournaments. An experience that Griekspoor does not really have, in addition to managing the defeat in the final he must quickly change conditions and take a top entry player here. Is he going to arrive thinking he has nothing to lose and surf on his good tournament last week or on the contrary arrive a little tired and unhappy to bang Zverev to start?
