Griekspoor (29) has now lost five games in a row and returns to the Netherlands with a bad feeling after a new failed trip in the United States.

Against the 37-year-old Mannarino, the number 77 in the world, he got enough opportunities to break back after an early break. He finally did that at 4-5, but then the born Haarlemmer still handed in the set. After that it was too sloppy and too erratic what our countryman showed against the French Leftie.

In the second set, Mannarino had enough break enough to push Greek in an even more difficult position. The number 77 in the world made much fewer mistakes than Kristof’s pupil flies and ended at lightning speed in the third set.

Tallon Griekspoor believes it

Griekspoor could no longer set up. In fact: in the last set he no longer won a game. Griekspoor gave the game away with a double error.

Last year Griekspoor made the third round in New York. Then he lost to Grigor Dimitrov.
