The Dutch tennis player Tallon Grepes has reached the second round of Roland Garros on Sunday. In an exciting match, which initially seemed to end in favor of his Spanish opponent Pedro Martínez, he finally managed to win after five sets (6-4, 2-6, 0-6, 7-5, 6-3). to pull in.
The Greek track, the number 39 in the world, suffered ankle complaints in the run-up to the tournament in Paris. Earlier this week he had to give up during an ATP tournament in Geneva, but that did not seem to bother him in the match against Martínez, the number 135 in the world.
In the next round, the Greek track will face the Polish tennis player Hubert Hurkacz, the global number thirteen, who also defeated his Belgian opponent David Goffin in five sets on Sunday. Last year, the number two in the Netherlands stranded in the second round of Roland Garros.
Lost coach
Things did not go well between the Greek track and his coach during the match. When the Greek track said during a lesser phase of the match, “Let’s go if you don’t say anything,” Kristof Vliegen immediately left the track. He was not present for the rest of the game, even after the win.
Greek track had no idea where his coach was even after the match, he said at the press conference. “It happens in the heat of battle. It is a grand slam, there is extra pressure and you want it.” The tennis player expects them to make up on Sunday evening.
