Tallon Griekspoor vs Luciano Darderi Prediction & Picks - ATP Grand Prix Hassan II

Prediction published on 4/6/25, 5:01 AM  by Lou Aguila in Tennis Picks

Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands and Lucas Darderi of Italy will compete on Sunday in Marrakesh, Morocco, for the Hassan Grand Prix II title.

Griekspoor moved one win away to winning his first title in two years following a 7-5 7-6(3) win over Polish qualifier Kamil Majchrzak. The Dutch carried the momentum from his 6-3 6-4 win over Mattia Belluci in the quarterfinal as he fired 10 aces and conceded only one service break. Griekspoor dealt a lot of damage on his first serves with 38 of 78 total points coming off his first attempts at the serve.

Darderi earned his 8th win in 9 matches after downing clay-court expert Roberto Carballes Baena 6-3 6-2. Darderi’s clean victory over a battle-tested Baena stunned everybody since the Spaniard was coming into the match with an outstanding 63 percent win rate in 808 clay-court matches. However, Darderi showed why he’s considered one of Italy’s rising stars as he shattered Baena’s defense with an all-around offense that allowed him to hold serves, except one instant, and break the Spaniard four times. The win has catapulted Darderi to his second straight final after also playing in the championship match of the Naples Challenger, where he lost to Vit Kopriva 3-6 6-3 7-6(4).
