Tallon Griekspoor and Sho Shimabukuro: Sho Shimabukuro leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
World No. 104 Sho Shimabukuro flipped a 63-rung ranking gap on No. 41 Tallon Griekspoor by living on the second serve — 62% of those points won to Griekspoor's 42%, and 58% on second-serve return. The Dutchman's 19 aces (to five) never translated: he held 8 of 11 break points but got broken to close both the first and third sets, in game 10 each time. Shimabukuro saved a match point along the way and books a Halle third round with Frances Tiafoe.
