Wed Jul 16 16:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Nordea Open Faces Rain Delays, Griekspoor and Baez Set to Join the Action

**Bastad, Sweden -** Rain interrupted play at the Nordea Open, but tennis fans can still look forward to four exciting second-round matches on Wednesday. Number 2 seed Tallon Griekspoor and number 4 seed Sebastian Baez are set to enter the tournament after receiving byes in the opening rounds.

One of the highlighted matches will see Vit Kopriva facing Jesper de Jong. Kopriva seems to be capitalizing on his entry into the Top 100 rankings slightly more effectively than de Jong. Experts predict a tight match, with Kopriva ultimately prevailing in three sets.

Tallon Griekspoor will face Andrea Pellegrino, who recently secured his first ATP Tour win in nearly five years. Despite Pellegrino’s potential, Griekspoor’s consistent form and strong serve are expected to give him the edge, leading to a victory in two sets.

In another anticipated matchup, Elias Ymer will take on Luciano Darderi. While Ymer has a history of strong performances in Swedish ATP events, Darderi’s recent success, including an ATP Tour title in Marrakech, suggests he may be too strong for Ymer, with experts predicting a Darderi win in two sets.

Finally, Sebastian Baez will face Nicolai Budkov Kjaer. Despite reaching three clay-court finals earlier in the year, Baez is currently on a seven-match losing streak. While Kjaer is a promising young player, Baez is predicted to grind out a win in three sets as he looks to regain his confidence.

Tennis enthusiasts eagerly await Wednesday’s matches to see who will advance to the quarterfinals of the Nordea Open.
