Because Greek track has dropped to forty place in the world rankings, he belonged just not among the 36 seeded players. VHe last faced Hurkacz in February last year. Greek Spoor, on his way to his semi-final place at the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam, won against the Pole in three sets. A year earlier, the outcome at Roland Garros was the other way around, but the match lasted five sets.
The 28-year-old North Hollander has never made it past the third round at Grand Slam tournaments. Greek Spoor told the NOS that he is not physically great. “Five days ago I blocked my back. Since then I have only done recovery work. My body has completely locked up on all sides.”
A few hours after the elimination of Fransepoor, Amstelvener Botic van de Zandschulp also left the tournament as the last Dutchman among the men. Alex de Minaur (ATP-8), playing at home, was too strong for the number 84 in the world with 6-1, 7-5 and 6-4.
