Griekspoor withstood nine aces and broke his opponent’s serve five times to secure his first victory over Otte in the pair’s fourth meeting. The encounter lasted two hours and eight minutes.

By lifting his third ATP Challenger trophy, his first since the 2019 Srspka Open in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Griekspoor pocketed €6,190 in prize money as well as 80 ATP Ranking points.
