Tallon Griekspoor vs Pavel Kotov Head-to-Head, Preview, Stats & Pick:
Head To Head Kotov Leads 2-1.
In what promises to be an electrifying clash, Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands will face off against Pavel Kotov in their fourth meeting on the ATP Tour. With Kotov currently leading their head-to-head record 2-1, Griekspoor will surely be seeking redemption and looking to even the score.
Their first encounter took place in Marrakech on the clay courts, where Kotov emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle. Griekspoor started strongly, taking the first set 6-0, but Kotov showcased his resilience and fought back to claim a 0-6, 6-2, 6-2 win.
Their second clash occurred on the hard courts of the Australian Open, with Griekspoor seeking to avenge his previous loss. In a closely contested match, Griekspoor managed to come out on top, defeating Kotov in straight sets with a scoreline of 6-3, 7-6(3), 6-3.
The most recent showdown between the two took place in Stockholm, where Kotov showcased his skill and emerged victorious once again. Griekspoor gave it his all, but Kotov’s strong performance enabled him to secure a 7-6(4), 6-2 win and advance to the next round.
Adding to the anticipation of this upcoming match, it is worth noting that Griekspoor has achieved some notable milestones in his career. He had a breakout year in 2023, notching a personal-best 36 wins and clinching his first ATP Tour title in Pune. This success propelled him to a career-high ranking of No. 21 in November.
Griekspoor also had an impressive run in 2024, capturing his second title at ‘s-Hertogenbosch on home soil. One of the highlights of his career came in Rotterdam, where he battled back from a set down to defeat the then world No. 8, Hubert Hurkacz, signaling his arrival as a force to be reckoned with in the tennis world.
Additionally, Griekspoor has shown great tenacity in his matches, consistently rallying from a set down to secure victories. Notable wins include triumphs over top-ranked players such as Stan Wawrinka, Karen Khachanov, Aslan Karatsev, Alexander Zverev, and Alex de Minaur.
On the other side of the net, Kotov has also had his fair share of achievements. Despite being younger than Griekspoor, he has made significant strides in the tennis world. He earned his first ATP ranking point at the young age of 16 and broke into the Top 100 in October 2022. His career reached new heights when he achieved a career-high ranking of No. 50 in June 2024 after defeating former champion Wawrinka at Roland Garros.
In 2023, Kotov produced a stellar performance in Stockholm, where he defeated Griekspoor, securing the biggest win of his career and propelling him to his first ATP Tour final. He followed up this achievement with strong showings in Marrakech in 2022, reaching the semi-finals, and returning in 2023 to once again make it to the last four.
Although Kotov has notched wins against some top-ranked opponents, his record against the top 50 players this season has been less successful. He is determined to secure his first win against a top 50 player since defeating Cameron Norrie in the first round of Roland Garros. It is important to mention that his triumph over Griekspoor last year was a stepping stone towards his first ATP Tour final, where he eventually fell to Gael Monfils.
As these two formidable competitors step onto the court, the fans can expect a thrilling and hard-fought battle. Griekspoor will undoubtedly be looking to level the playing field and prove his worth against Kotov. However, Kotov, armed with his past victories and his hunger for more success, will not make it easy for Griekspoor. Only time will tell who will emerge victorious in this enthralling clash on the ATP Tour.
