Jannik Sinner vs Tallon Griekspoor prediction
The California crowd can expect a gripping contest between Jannik Sinner and Tallon Griekspoor in the third round of the Miami Open. Both players will be determined to continue their run and end the hardcourt season on a high.
Sinner has been the man to beat on the main tour this year. The Italian has raised the bar for his peers with his impeccable all-around game and exemplary conditioning on tour. He was two wins away from clinching his third title this year in Indian Wells, but Carlos Alcaraz stood in the way in the semifinals.
Having said that, Griekspoor will need to have a refined strategy to tackle Sinner's counterpunching and heavy groundstrokes. The Dutchman couldn't find his feet during their recent encounter in Rotterdam and will be eager to perform better this time around. He likes to play an aggressive brand of tennis and relies heavily on his forehand.
Ultimately, the player who begins on the front foot and manages to exploit their opponent's weaknesses will have the upper hand in this encounter. Griekspoor has the pedigree to present a serious challenge to Sinner, but the Italian should be able to open his bag of tricks and get past him once again this year.
Pick: Sinner to win in straight sets.
