Tallon Griekspoor beat American Brandon Nakashima in three sets to reach the second round of the ATP 500 tournament in Vienna, where he will face world No. 1 Alexander Zverev.
The Dutchman won 6–1, 4–6, 7–6 (2) on Wednesday. He dominated the opening set, breaking Nakashima three times, but the American recovered and took the second after breaking in the seventh game. Neither player lost serve in the decider before Griekspoor won the tie-break.
The victory follows Griekspoor’s defeat in the final of the ATP event in Brussels on Sunday. In Vienna, he beat the world No. 17 without the angry outbursts and racket-smashing reported during that final.
