The ABN AMRO Open 2026 in Rotterdam continues its first-round matches on Tuesday, February 10, despite notable withdrawals by defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev. This has slightly diminished the tournament’s star power, yet the competition remains fierce, with players eager to secure their places in the second round.
Cameron Norrie set the tone on Monday by defeating Roberto Bautista Agut in an opening match victory. Several other singles matches are scheduled for Tuesday, bringing anticipation for closely contested battles, including the much-anticipated Tallon Griekspoor match prediction against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.
Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz’s Absence Alters the Draw
The withdrawals of Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz removed some of the event’s top contenders, increasing opportunities for other players. Though their absence is felt, many competitors like Cameron Norrie and Alex de Minaur remain motivated to advance, intensifying the race through the early rounds.
Alex de Minaur Faces Arthur Fils in a Rivalry Rematch
Alex de Minaur, who recently reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open but was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz, meets Arthur Fils on Tuesday. Fils is making a comeback after a lengthy injury break, having lost in the Open Occitanie quarterfinals to Felix Auger-Aliassime. De Minaur holds a strong record at the ABN AMRO Open, never falling in the first round and finishing runner-up the last two years. Their head-to-head record stands even at 1-1, but Fils’ limited form suggests de Minaur may once again prevail.
Projected winner: Alex de Minaur
Quentin Halys Expected to Overcome Qualifier Mees Rottgering
Halys, with a balanced 3-3 record so far this season, consistently reaches the second rounds in tournaments he enters. His Tuesday opponent Mees Rottgering earned his spot through qualifying but has limited main draw ATP experience and is currently ranked 618th. The match positions Halys as the favorite to progress further.
Projected winner: Quentin Halys
Tallon Griekspoor Faces a Stern Test Against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard
Tallon Griekspoor enters this clash with a disappointing 1-5 start to the season, contrasting with Mpetshi Perricard’s more balanced 4-4 record, despite having lost his last three matches. Mpetshi Perricard’s recent mid-match retirement in Montpellier due to accidental self-injury raises questions about his current fitness. Though Griekspoor won their only prior meeting, his ongoing struggles suggest this encounter will be a tough challenge.
Projected winner: Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard
Jan-Lennard Struff Set to Battle Hugo Grenier in a Rematch
Jan-Lennard Struff has shown limited success this year, with his sole victory during Davis Cup Qualifiers. His opponent Hugo Grenier, ranked 179th, recently qualified for the ABN AMRO Open and is making his first main tour appearance this season. Their previous meeting in Marseille ended with Struff winning in three sets, signaling a similarly tight match likely on Tuesday.
Projected winner: Jan-Lennard Struff
Zizou Bergs and Fabian Marozsan in a Closely Matched Contest
Zizou Bergs holds a 3-2 record in 2026, while Fabian Marozsan has a 5-4 record and won their only prior meeting last year on clay courts in Munich. Marozsan’s recent form has dipped, suffering two consecutive losses, which might affect his chances. This match remains uncertain but leans toward Bergs given current performance trends.
Projected winner: Zizou Bergs
The intense competition and unpredictable outcomes on Day 2 of the ABN AMRO Open 2026 highlight the tournament’s depth despite high-profile withdrawals. Tallon Griekspoor’s upcoming match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard stands out as a critical test as Griekspoor attempts to turn his season around. The developments in Rotterdam will shape momentum for players seeking valuable ATP points and confidence as the season progresses.
