Are you OK, Tallon?

There is a million-dollar question here...

Griekspoor was supposed to defend his title in ATP Mallorca, but withdrew without citing a reason. That's a tough blow for him; his season has turned quite rough ever since the start of the clay season. Sure, he usually doesn't do that well on Clay, but his grass events have not been good either this time. Simply a win against VDZ, then taking a loss against Zhang and Shimabukuro. He's looking quite frustrated in his last matches, and while his floor level can still be somewhat high due to the quality of his serve and forehand, we have seen him often chain bad results together like this. As for Duckworth, grass season is usually a good time for him, since he has a very good game for it, but after playing a good match against Lehecka in Stuttgart, he is also coming off two really poor straight-set losses against Vukic and Hussey! It was during the qualifying rounds in Queen's and Eastbourne, and I was not able to watch the matches, but the scorelines make it seem quite rough. He's caused trouble to some good opponents previously in Wimbledon, but usually with a better build-up grass season than the one this year!

I'm not sure how effective Duckworth's game will be against Griekspoor, since I feel like Tallon can do a lot of the stuff he is good at (net play, slicing, etc.) Griekspoor has a bigger serve and forehand. However, Griekspoor's slam record is also quite poor for a player of his caliber; he doesn't really seem to enjoy the longer format, and his level starts to fluctuate too much...
