Tallon Grepe’s momentum goes on and on. The tennis player from Nieuw-Vennep won the first round of the ATP tournament in Dubai against Constant Lestienne in three sets (6-4, 3-6, 6-2). The next hurdle for the Greek track is most likely Novak Djokovic.
With the win over Constant Lestienne, Tallon Greek track climbs to 39th place in the world ranking. That means the highest ranking ever for the 26-year-old Nieuw-Venneper. This does not make the Greek track the best Dutchman at the moment, because that is Botic van de Zandschulp with 33rd place. The Amsterdammer will also be in action in Dubai tomorrow. The Amsterdammer will then face the Russian Karen Khachanov.
Greek track and Djokovic competed against each other once before. In 2021 at the US Upen, only the Greek track had little to say then: 6-2, 6-3, 6-2.
