HTH
First meeting.
Mensik Building Momentum In 2026
Jakub Mensik is playing very solid tennis at the moment, firmly established as a top-20 player and producing consistent results that make him difficult to beat.
In 2026 he has already put together an impressive stretch, winning the Auckland title, reaching the second week of the Australian Open, making the semifinals in Dubai last week, and now backing it up with another quarterfinal run.
Despite several notable achievements in his young career, the quarterfinal stage has often been a hurdle. He has lost nine of his 14 quarterfinal matches, making this round an area he will be eager to improve moving forward.

Griekspoor Responds Under Pressure in Dubai
Talent Griekspoor has not been at his best for much of this season, producing results below his usual standards. However, with important points to defend in Dubai, he has responded strongly with two impressive wins over Otto Virtanen and Alexander Bublik.
He now needs one more victory to fully defend the semifinal points he earned here last year, when he won three consecutive three-set matches from a set down, including a dramatic quarterfinal triumph against Daniil Medvedev.
Quarterfinals have proven challenging for him in 2026, as he fell at that stage in Montpellier earlier this month and again in Rotterdam against Felix Auger-Aliassime. This round remains a key test for his campaign.

Verdict
Jakub Mensik may hold the form edge and has looked the more dominant player recently, but the market still seems to underrate Tallon Griekspoor’s chances. This has the makings of a closer contest than the odds suggest.
Back Griekspoor to stay within the +3.5 games line, with added interest on him to grab a set.
Griekspoor +3.5
