Tallon Griekspoor vs Luciano Darderi Prediction

I'm backing Griekspoor to hoist his third ATP title. Clay is actually one of his strongest surfaces, having played and won more matches on it. At first glance, Griekspoor strikes you as a player who plays with so much guile and power and who thrives on hard courts, but he intelligently uses clay courts to his advantage. He's got the consistency of a reliable first serve and depth in his groundstrokes. His court coverage is perhaps underestimated, but he is very quick and will look to topple Darderi in the longer rallies. The Dutchman's ability to control the court should give him the upper hand.
