Career-high ranking, November 2023
Born in Haarlem on 2 July 1996, Griekspoor came up through the Challenger tour and in 2021 won a record eight Challenger titles in one season. He won his first ATP title at Pune in January 2023, added 's-Hertogenbosch on grass that June and reached a career-high No. 21 that November. In 2024 he helped the Netherlands reach their first Davis Cup final, and in 2025 he beat Daniil Medvedev in Dubai and Alexander Zverev at Indian Wells after saving match points in both, then won his second grass title at Mallorca. In 2026 he reached the Dubai final but withdrew injured, handing Medvedev the title, and beat Zverev again in Montreal in August. His 2026 grass season brought a second-round exit at 's-Hertogenbosch and first-round defeats at Halle and Wimbledon.

Wimbledon 2021 · Qualifying
His first Wimbledon main draw came the hard way. In the final round of qualifying he lost the first two sets to the Briton Arthur Fery, won the third and fourth in tie-breaks and took the fifth 6-2. Five years later Fery reached the second week at Wimbledon; Griekspoor was still looking for his first third round.

Griekspoor spent 2021 on the Challenger circuit and won eight titles in one season, a record, among them Prague, Murcia, Napoli, Tenerife and the Dutch Open. Along the way he became the first player to win five Challenger titles in a row. He broke into the top 100 that year.

With a home crowd behind him he lost a first-set tie-break to Jordan Thompson, won the second 7-3 and took the only break of the deciding set in the sixth game, winning in two hours 35 minutes. He thanked the crowd "for getting me through today" and said he had "no words for this one". It was his second ATP title and his first on grass.

Seeded at a major for the first time, he was given a place among the top names. "You sit in a separate dressing room with all the top players. That is something unique, special," he said. He called it a reward for his first half of the season, adding: "But otherwise nothing changes." More players had started congratulating him, he noticed. Márton Fucsovics beat him in the first round.

Seeded fourth, he went through the week without losing a set and beat Corentin Moutet 7-5, 7-6 (3) in the final, saving all four break points he faced. It was his first title in two years and made him the oldest champion in the event's history. "It was super warm again," he said. "I served great in the tie-break. I served great all match."

An injury forced him out of the Dubai final in February, and by Wimbledon he had dropped from 39th to 58th. James Duckworth beat him in the first round, his fifth straight opening-round defeat at the majors. In August he beat the top seed Alexander Zverev in Montreal. "I have been very close to throwing the towel a couple of times," he said.
