Second-seeded Alexander Zverev will look to keep his bid for a second title in 2025 alive when he takes on Tallon Griekspoor in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Vienna Open. Zverev’s season has been mixed as the German player has had 21 losses this season, so far, and has lost to several low-ranked players even after beginning his season with a Grand Slam runner-up finish in Melbourne. At Vienna, he began with a 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (5) win over British qualifier Jacob Fearnley in the first round, followed by a 6-4, 6-4 win over Italian qualifier Matteo Arnaldi in the second round.
Griekspoor’s 2025 season has seen the Dutchman reach two finals, where he won the title in Mallorca and then had a runner-up finish in Marrakesh. However, in as many as 14 events, he has not made it past the second round this year. At Vienna, he began with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 win over fifth-seeded Karen Khachanov in the first round, after which he won 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2) against Brandon Nakashima in the second round.

Zverev vs Griekspoor Head-to-Head
After 10 meetings, Zverev has a dominant 8-2 head-to-head record against Griekspoor. One of the Dutchman’s two victories came this year at Indian Wells, where he won 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4).

Zverev vs Griekspoor Prediction
Zverev has an impressive record on indoor hard courts, winning eight titles from ten finals. He has won some big titles on the surface, being a two-time champion at the ATP Finals and winning the Paris Masters last year. He is also a former champion in Vienna, winning the title against Frances Tiafoe in the final.
Griekspoor has yet to reach a final on indoor hard courts in his career, but the Dutchman has reached two hard-court finals: winning the Maharashtra Open in 2023 and the Washington Open final the same year.
In his two matches in Vienna so far, Zverev has won 78 percent of his first serve points, breaking only once. On return, he has had a 30 percent break point conversion rate, winning 3 of the 10 break point opportunities. Meanwhile, Griekspoor has won 80 percent of his first serve points in his two matches and has been broken only once.
Both players had poor break point conversion rates coming into this match, and therefore, whoever plays aggressively on break point opportunities will hold an edge in the upcoming match. Given his dominant head-to-head record, Zverev clearly has the advantage going into the match.
Pick – Zverev to win in three sets.
