Griekspoor vs Paire: will the Frenchman level the head-to-head score?

Griekspoor won the home tournament in Amersfoort last week. He spent quite a lot of energy at that challenger, so it's hard to imagine that he would achieve success at the Swiss Open. Sure, Griekspoor has a confidence boost thanks to the victory in the Netherlands, but his last four matches ended in three sets, so Tallon could use a little rest. In the first round of the current tournament in Gstaad, Griekspoor beat Juan Londero (7-5, 4-6, 7-6).

It is starting to look like Paire is coming back. Last week, Benoit reached the quarterfinals at the tournament in Hamburg. Here in Gstaad, the French tennis player started his campaign with a confident victory over Josef Kovalik (6-3, 7-6). We are still a bit reluctant to say that his long crisis is over, but there is a positive trend - at least, Paire has started winning again. We believe that he should not be underestimated.
