Tallon Griekspoor has crowned his dream week with the title. In the exciting final, he was too strong for Jordan Thompson with 6-7(4) 7-6(3) 6-3 and succeeds Tim van Rijthoven as champion.<\/p>
Due to the rain, the players had to wait a long time to start the title fight. It was Thompson who managed to break Griekspoor in the opening game, but the player from North Holland repaired the damage immediately a game later.<\/p>
The opening set had to be decided by a tiebreak. In this, the Australian led 4-1. He saw his lead dwindle, but was just in time to win the first game.<\/p>
In the second set, Griekspoor had the best papers, but failed to win the set on his own service at 5-3. Again a tiebreak had to determine the set win. Now it was the new Dutch number one who was the coolest and was able to force a deciding set.<\/p>
Carried by the crowd, Griekspoor kept fighting for every point and a break at 3-2, followed by a good service game gave him a three-game lead on the scoreboard. At 5-3, he served his way to the title and dropped flat on the grass after the match point.<\/p>
The win marked Griekspoor’s second ATP title of the season. Earlier this year, he was also the best in Pune. He also enters the top 30 for the first time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
