LiontipsBaez vs Griekspoor. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
In the first round of the US Open, Baez's opponent was Luciano Darderi. The Argentine was considered the favorite of the match and lived up to expectations. He defeated his opponent in four sets. Thus, he won his fifth match on this surface this season.
Professional qualities
Baez is only 170 cm tall. With such anthropometric data, it is difficult to count on successful play on fast surfaces. The Argentine performs well on clay, but this is not enough to show good results.
Current indicators in the tour
The Argentine is the 23rd racket in the world, but all his successes are connected with clay. On this surface he won tournaments in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago. As for hard, here he has seven defeats in 12 matches of the current season.
Interesting facts for betting
Last season, Baez reached the third round of the US Open. Then he managed to beat Coric and Meligeni Rodriguez Alves. In 2024, the Latin American will try to defend that result.
Current form
Griekspoor's last successful tournament was 's-Hertogenbosch. Then the Dutchman reached the semi-finals. After that, Tallon's performances were not impressive. Despite this, in the opening match of the US Open, he dealt with Sumit Nagal in three sets.
Professional qualities
Griekspoor has a great baseline game, but lacks confidence in his own abilities in crucial moments. Perhaps because of this, Tallon has not yet reached great heights in tennis.
Current indicators in the tour
Griekspoor was once ranked 21st in the world, but is currently ranked 40th. The Dutchman's position is affected by his recent results. He has lost most of his previous encounters.
Interesting facts for betting
Griekspoor has only once broken the first round barrier at the US Open. That happened back in 2021. After that, the Dutchman put his racket away at the start of the competition.

Baez has never learned to play on fast surfaces. Recently, the Argentinean lost one wicket to Jordan Thompson and Borna Coric. In a confrontation with the tall Griekspoor, the Latin American will also have no chance of success. You can’t get very far on shots from the baseline alone.
