This matchup has a history of producing long battles. Zverev and Griekspoor have faced each other multiple times, with many of those matches featuring tight sets, tiebreaks, and even deciding sets. Their head-to-head meetings average over 2 hours of play, and Zverev leads the rivalry 9-2, but Griekspoor has consistently been competitive.

Griekspoor comes into Montreal after defeating Lorenzo Sonego 7-6, 7-5, extending a trend of lengthy matches. In fact, 10 straight Griekspoor matches have gone over 22 games, while 9 straight Zverev matches have also gone over 22 games.

Both players rely heavily on their serve. Griekspoor wins around 82% of his service points, while Zverev has won 76% of points on serve this season, making breaks of serve difficult to come by.

A key stat is that predictive models give this match roughly an 85% probability of exceeding 20 games, making 21.5 a very reachable number even in a competitive two-set match.

With two strong servers and a history of close sets, this matchup is well-positioned to clear the number.

Play: Over 21.5 (-107)
