Tallon Griekspoor pulled off a surprise victory at the Shanghai Masters 1000 and has already reached the round of 16. Obviously, the match was marked by the injury of the world No. 2, Jannik Sinner.

The match had its story, with a tough tiebreak in the first set that forced Sinner to sweat to take it, and Griekspoor balanced the scale in the second, also with his share of suffering. Finally, in the third set, the Italian called it quits. After enduring persistent cramps, the extreme temperature and humidity conditions hovering over the court also played a part.

- A bitter but hard-fought victory

"Yes, it's not the way you want to win, especially after what I think were two very good sets from both. The first set was of high quality from both, very dominant with the serve. I think he played an incredible tiebreak: he hit a couple of balls on the line and served very well. I had a bit of luck at 3-4 in the second when I saved three break points and managed to hold serve. Sometimes you need a bit of luck to win these matches," analyzed the Dutchman.

- A constant battle against court conditions

"The conditions here in Shanghai have been brutal all week. I thought we had been lucky to play at night without sun, but after two hours and 36 minutes, halfway through the third set... I feel sorry for him, I wish him a speedy recovery," he concluded.

- Griekspoor can challenge anyone

"He is a player in form, who has been performing well for the two sets. So I am very happy about that. I think this also shows that when I have peace, I can do things like this. When I am calm, both mentally and physically, I can do this and I can compete with these guys. That gives me a lot of confidence," he concluded.
