Tallon Griekspoor is a twenty-five year old player from the Netherlands. Griekspoor turned professional in 2015 and has been toiling away on the Challenger circuit. It takes belief, commitment, and a love of tennis to keep going. His perseverance is paying off not in main tour titles, but in boosting his confidence and ranking.
Tallon Griekspoor won the ATP Challenger title in Italy, defeating American Alexander Ritschard in the final. For his endeavors he got the mover of the week honors. Hopefully he will continue to climb the rankings and claim his first ATP Tour singles title, a feat that can be particularly tricky without the right mindset, attitude, and practice.
