US Open 2024: Sumit Nagal vs Tallon Griekspoor preview, prediction, and where to watch
Indian tennis star Sumit Nagal is set to face Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands in the first round of the US Open 2024. This highly anticipated men's singles match will take place at Flushing Meadows in New York on Monday, August 26.
Currently ranked 72nd in the world, Nagal has had a strong season leading up to the US Open. He claimed the ATP Challenger title at the Heilbronn Neckarcup in June, adding to his impressive run in 2024, which also saw him winning the Chennai Open. The victories have bolstered his confidence as he prepares to take on Griekspoor, who is ranked 40th in the world.
Griekspoor, who recently suffered an early exit at the ATP Masters 1000 in Cincinnati, will be looking to bounce back. The 26-year-old Dutch player has shown his mettle on the ATP Tour, notably winning his maiden ATP Tour Singles title at the Maharashtra Open in 2023.

Sumit Nagal vs Tallon Griekspoor Head-to-Head
Sumit Nagal and Tallon Griekspoor have faced each other only once before at the 2019 ATP Tour in Banja Luka, Bosnia-Herzegovina. In that encounter, Griekspoor emerged victorious, defeating Rafael Nadal in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3.
While the result gives Griekspoor a psychological edge, it’s important to note that much has changed since then, with Nagal improving his game significantly.
Sumit Nagal vs Tallon Griekspoor Prediction
Nagal will enter the match with momentum, having secured two ATP Challenger titles this year, including the Heilbronn Neckarcup. Despite being ranked lower than Griekspoor, Nagal’s recent performances, including a notable win against World No. 27 Alexander Bublik, make him a strong contender.
Griekspoor, although ranked 40th and having defeated Nagal in their only previous encounter, might face a tougher challenge this time. Nagal’s form suggests that he could very well overturn the past result and secure a victory in this first-round clash.
When and Where to Watch the Game?
The match will be broadcast live in India on Sony Sports channels, with live streaming available on SonyLIV. The game is scheduled to start at 1:30 AM IST.
