Good morning, welcome to another morning at the China Open! After a convincing performance in his debut against the bomber Perricard, Carlos Alcaraz continues to regain confidence in his tennis. The Murcian returns to the court for the round of 16 against Tallon Griekspoor, 39th in the ATP ranking . On this occasion, the player from El Palmar will play on the central court under a covered roof , due to the rain that has suspended part of the day’s matches.
Alcaraz – Griekspoor
The Dutchman, a possible rival of the Murcian in the Davis Cup Final 8 in Malaga , comes to the match with an extra day of rest after making his debut on Thursday. Griekspoor was able to overcome the Serbian Miomic Jecmanovic by 6(3)-7, 6-4 and 6-3.Alcaraz – Griekspoor.
Their meeting in Beijing will be their fourth on the circuit , the second on hard court. After their last face-to-face just two months ago at the Paris Games , the overall record between the two is dominated by Alcaraz with a full set of wins (3/3). Although the Dutchman has not been able to win a set against the Murcian, the latter has managed to reach at least one tie break in each of their encounters.
After beating Perricard, Alcaraz made a first analysis of his match against Griekspoor in the Chinese tournament, who could also be his opponent in the Davis Cup quarter-finals as the number one of the Netherlands: “It doesn’t matter who you play against, it’s always an opportunity to learn and analyse the players that I will continue to meet on the circuit for a long time.”
