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.

Ad

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
