Novak Djokovic vs Tallon Griekspoor is a second round clash at the 2021 US Open and here are all the details of the live stream, prediction, preview and more
Top seed, Novak Djokovic, started off his US Open 2021 chase with a four set win over Danish teen Holger Rune.
This was his first round match and Rune put on quite a show as he took one set off the 20-time Grand Slam champion.
Djokovic, however, is looking to complete the calendar slam and his next opponent is Dutch star Tallon Griekspoor.
The Serbian is the favourite to win this slam as the likes of Dominick Thiem, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are all out of the tournament with injuries.
Griekspoor won his first round clash with a five-set battle against Jan-Lennard Struff. The 25-year-old Dutch star’s best performance in a Grand Slam is the current US Open, and he would have to pull off quite an upset to progress into the third round.
The Dutch star is ranked 121st in the world and he has his work cut out for him. As was the previous match for Djokovic, this would be the first time he faces this opponent in his tennis career.
Djokovic has 12 years of pro experience more than his rival, and that should come in handy in this clash. Further, the Serbian has a winning 38/5 record this year. However, Griekspoor has only won three games on the ATP circuit this season with five losses to his name.
The gulf in class is also prevalent in the career prize money. Novak Djokovic has earned a career prize money of over $151million while his rival has earned just $630,000.

The Dutch star has nothing to lose coming into this second round 2021 US Open clash, and he could be a problem for Djokovic.
However, the World No.1 should have enough in the tank to get the better of his rival. Djokovic should be the easy favourite to make it to the third round.
