Tallon Griekspoor beat second seed Jiří Lehečka in three sets on Friday to reach the semi-finals of the European Open in Brussels, where he will face Argentina’s Francisco Cerúndolo on Saturday for a place in the final.
The Dutchman, ranked 60th in the world, came back to win 4–6, 6–4, 6–3 against Lehečka, the world No. 20. Griekspoor broke early in the first set but was broken back, then lost his serve again as Lehečka took the set.
