Tallon Griekspoor v Arthur Fils Head to Head
Griekspoor and Fils have never faced off against each other.

Griekspoor Made Washington Final
It’s been quite a memorable season for Griekspoor who enters the US Open ranked 24th in the world – his career-best so far.
Having begun the season with a title win in Pune in the very first week of the year, Griekspoor followed it up with another tournament win in Rosmalen in June. And as if to prove these victories are no flash in the pan, Griekspoor has done well otherwise too.
Like for example at the Washington Open, he overcame JJ Wolf and Taylor Fritz on his way to the final. He also made the third round at the Winston-Salem Open last week.
Having gotten knocked out of the US Open in the first round last year, Griekspoor will now hope he can get the better of that showing at the very least and he started off a 3/5 favourite (with bet365) to win this.

Fils Yet to Win a Hardcourt Match Outdoors
While Fils has done well in indoor tournaments at every level, his performances in outdoor hardcourt competitions are yet to take off. It could be a matter of time given how he has done on both, clay and the faster indoor surfaces.
19-year-old Fils, who is on his US Open debut, was forced to play on the Challenger circuit at the start of the season because of his low ranking.
That’s also why he has featured in a mere four outdoor hardcourt matches this season, two of which have come in main draws of tournaments. Strangely for Fils, he has won nothing at that level.
Despite all that, Fils has moved up to 48th in the world having begun the season ranked 252nd in the world and that has been down to his consistent performances on the other circuits. He starts off a second favourite here but not by much with bet365 offering 7/5 for his win.
Can he usurp the world number 24 in a best of five encounter?
Griekspoor v Fils Prediction and Tip
Fils’ lack of experience in a best-of-five match could be at the core of the reason why Griekspoor starts off a favourite to win this. We might see a fourth set though.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Griekspoor to win: 3/5 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Griekspoor to win AND Both players to win a set: 11/8 (with bet365)
