Jacob Fearnley Loses to Griekspoor at Stockholm Open

Jacob Fearnley's impressive 13-match winning streak was halted at the Stockholm Open, where he lost in the second round to Dutch seventh seed Tallon Griekspoor with a score of 7-6 (7-0) 6-3. The 23-year-old Scot recently entered the top 100 after a remarkable rise from 646th at the start of the year, largely due to winning four consecutive Challenger titles. Despite the defeat, Fearnley is likely to maintain his top 100 status and aims to secure a spot in the qualifying draw for the ATP indoor event in Basel next week. In other tournament news, Harriet Dart experienced another setback, losing to Clara Tauson at the Japan Open. Meanwhile, the young German player Justin Engel made history by winning an ATP match but was eliminated in the subsequent round. Fearnley's journey symbolizes a significant turnaround in his career after graduating from a U.S. university.
