Tallon Griekspoor (28) is for the first time in his career in the quarterfinals of Indian Wells. The number 1 in the Netherlands defeated the Japanese qualifier Yosuke Watanuki (26) in two sets: 7-6 (4) 6-1. Griekspoor plays against the winner of the match between the Dane Holger Rune and the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas for a place in the last four on the hard court lanes in California, USA.
The victory of Griekspoor on Watanuki meant one of the most important victories in his career. On the grand slam tournaments, the Noord-Hollander never got further than the third round. The Indian Wells tournament is also referred to as ‘the fifth grand slam tournament’ and belongs to the ATP-1000 tournaments. The best performance of Griekspoor in this category was a fourth round last year in Madrid. The current number 43 in the world ranking will at least belong to the best forty next Monday.
