Rune's most impressive win came in the fourth round when he won 6-4, 6-4 against eighth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas, ending the Greek's impressive seven-match win streak.
Tallon Griekspoor has won eleven of the sixteen matches he has played in 2025. The season highlights for the World No. 33 has been reaching the quarterfinal at the Open Occitanie (lost 6-7 (5), 4-6 against Jesper de Jong), and reaching the semifinal at the Dubai Tennis Championships (lost 4-6, 4-6 against Stefanos Tsitsipas).
Griekspoor has been in splendid form at Indian Wells so far, opening his campaign with a 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-3 against Miomir Kecmanovic. He caused one of the biggest upsets of the year, in the second round when he won 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4) against World No. 2 Alexander Zverev.

Holger Rune vs Tallon Griekspoor prediction
During their last match in Madrid, Griekspoor won 74 percent of his service points against Rune including an 81 percent win rate on his first serve. The Dutchman was proficient on the return as well, as he generated as many as thirteen break-point opportunities on the Dane's serve.
Meanwhile, Rune could win 61 percent of his service points. He had a sub-par 26 percent win rate in case of return points, as he could muster only three break-point opportunities compared to his opponent's thirteen.
Even though both their previous matches have been on clay, the court in Indian Wells has played slow, sometimes almost as slow as clay courts. Griekspoor will start as the favorite as he has the head-to-head advantage and is the more in-form player.
Pick- Griekspoor to win in three sets
