Sixth seed Tallon Griekspoor is two matches away from retaining his Libema Open title. He faces the seventh seed Sebastian Korda for a place in the final. The Dutchman revels playing in front of his home fans and also got to the last four in the hard court tournament held in Rotterdam earlier this year. Now he has his heart set on retaining the grass court title he won here last year. It’s not been an easy route to the last four for the world number 23.

Seventh seed Sebastian Korda caused a surprise in the quarter-finals when beating second-seeded Tommy Paul. He beat his fellow-American in straight sets with only six games being lost.

Korda is up to a career-high equaling ranking of 23rd in the live list. He needs to win this tournament to climb any higher. This is his second semi-final of the year.

Last year also saw him reach a grass court semi-final, that was at Queen’s Club in London. We go for three sets to be played in this match.
