Griekspoor without a solution against Sinner: "Three unforced errors and I still lost the first set".
Tallon Griekspoor has played Jannik Sinner four times this season, losing all four. Beaten today in the Davis Cup final, the 40th-ranked player in the world admitted that he had tried everything against the Italian.
The Dutchman took Sinner to a tie-break in the first set, but it was at this decisive moment in the set that the world No.1 was able to make the difference.
In a press conference after the defeat, Griekspoor admitted that Sinner is almost unbeatable at the moment: "I had no choice but to play at a very high level.
Facing Jannik at this level and with this state of confidence, it's incredibly difficult to beat him. I tried to do my best and I think I played at the same level in the first set and the beginning of the second.
I only made three unforced errors in the first set and still lost it."
