Griekspoor Defeats Shapovalov in Three-Set Thriller at Geneva Open
In a closely contested match at the Geneva Open, Canada’s Denis Shapovalov succumbed to Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands in a three-set thriller. The sixth-seeded Griekspoor prevailed 6-7 (7), 7-6 (4), 6-3 over the Richmond Hill, Ontario native.
Shapovalov delivered 10 aces and landed 64% of his first serves, but was let down by four double faults. Griekspoor, on the other hand, recorded five aces and six double faults, with a first-serve percentage of 57%.
“The match, which had been suspended due to rain the previous night, concluded on Thursday. Griekspoor will now face world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals later in the day.”
Despite the loss, Shapovalov can now shift his focus to the upcoming French Open, where he will be looking to make his mark on the clay court Grand Slam next week.
