Tallon Griekspoor has been delighting the home fans in this ATP 500 tournament in Rotterdam. An unseeded player will be in the last four of the ABN AMRO Open as Griekspoor faces Emil Ruusuvouri who is also outside the seeded positions.Griekspoor is up to 30th in the live rankings and 47th in the Live ATP Race. Before this week, most of his wins had come playing for the Netherlands in the United Cup and Davis Cup team events. He did get to the last 32 of the Australian Open but lost to Arthur Cazaux. He has shown some improved form of late though. Wins this week have come against unseeded Lorenzo Musetti (after losing the first set) and the fourth seed Hubert Hurkacz. His win over the Pole was also a three-setter and each one was decided by a tie-break. He’s now won six of his last seven matches. He reached the last four of this tournament last year and looks set to repeat that feat in 2024.

Emil Ruusuvouri was ranked 55th at the start of this tournament but up to 43rd in the live list after this run to the last eight. That's six places below his career high and a win here could see him equal that position. To achieve that he has to beat Griekspoor for the first time. He's lost all four previous meetings including three last year. Three of those wins have come on an indoor hard court which is the surface this quarter final is being played on. He is in good form though and beat seventh seed Ugo Humbert in round one. He then beat Jan-Lennard Struff in straight sets to reach the last eight. We tip Griekspoor to again reach the Rotterdam semi-final.
