Griekspoor Returns to a Happy Hunting Ground Under a Cloud

Griekspoor’s form and fitness are a concern after losing five of his six matches in 2026 and needing shoulder treatment in Montpellier last week. 

That raises questions about his physical level despite returning to one of his best venues. 

Rotterdam has historically brought out his best, even early in his tour career when experience was limited. 

He owns notable wins here over players like Stan Wawrinka, Karen Khachanov, Alexander Zverev, Lorenzo Musetti and Hubert Hurkacz. 

He is a two time semifinalist at this event, reaching the last four in 2023 and 2024. Griekspoor also carries a four match winning streak in Rotterdam first round matches.

Perricard Arrives in Rotterdam With Questions to Answer

Mpetshi Perricard has shown slight improvement in 2026 after a poor 2025, but concerns remain. He suffered an eye injury from a ball strike in Montpellier last week and retired, leaving doubts about his readiness. 

His indoor record is underwhelming for a player with such a big serve, standing at 27 wins and 33 losses. 

He is also making his Rotterdam debut, which adds another layer of uncertainty. The medium to medium fast courts here are not especially suited to his serve and may require time to adjust.

Verdict

Griekspoor’s poor form and fitness are concerns, but they are partly offset by Mpetshi Perricard’s recent eye injury and lack of experience in Rotterdam. Given his history here and familiarity with the conditions, Griekspoor looks attractively priced.
