A victory was certainly in it for Tallon Greek track in the second round of Roland Garros. The tennis player from Nieuw-Vennep was close in the fourth set, but in the end he had to admit his superior to Hubert Hurkacz after almost five hours: 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (13), 6-7 (5), 4-6.
On court seven in Paris, Tallon Grepes and Hubert Hurkacz turned it into a very entertaining game of tennis. The third set in particular was a thriller. Greek track survived five set points in the tiebreak and was successful with his sixth set point. The tiebreak lasted half an hour.
Fourth set
The closest to a victory came in the fourth set. With a 5-4 lead, the number 39 in the world was allowed to serve for the match, but he gave away his game. After that, the Polish number fourteen in the global ranking took over both the fourth and fifth sets. The game lasted a total of 4 hours and 44 minutes.
From the Sand Scallop
Last year, the 26-year-old Greek track also lost in the second round. In the previous round, Botic lost to the Zandschulp. The Amstelvener surprisingly went down against the Argentinian qualifier Thiago Tirante.
Greek track did not start completely fit at Roland Garros due to an ankle injury. In the fourth set he also had himself treated on his foot. The Nieuw-Venneper will probably undergo surgery on his injury soon.
