Top seed Tallon Griekspoor aims to clinch an ATP Tour title on all three surfaces after winning Pune on hard courts and ‘s-Hertogenbosch on grass in 2023. Standing between him and the Marrakech trophy is the clay-court specialist Luciano Darderi, who’s rediscovered his form over the last two weeks. Who do you think will come out on top? ATP Marrakech Final Prediction Tallon Griekspoor vs Luciano Darderi Head-to-head: Griekspoor 2-0 Darderi Tallon Griekspoor has been firing on all cylinders recently, defeating Daniil Medvedev on the way to Dubai semifinals and then Alexander Zverev en route to Indian Wells quarterfinals. Following that up as the top seed in Marrakech didn’t need to be easy, but the Dutchman has now made it to his fourth ATP Tour final (previous three were all in the 2023 season). While he was a monster on clay at the Challenger level, this is his first main tour final on the surface. The quick conditions in Morocco fit his serve +1 forehand oriented game nicely. Luciano Darderi had been struggling for months, not regaining his confidence even during the Golden Swing. Reaching the final at the Naples Challenger last week allowed him to get back on track and while he lost to Vit Kopriva on Sunday, he quickly exacted revenge on the Czech in the quarterfinals this week. A surprise ATP Tour champion in Cordoba last year, the 23-year-old made it to his second final at this level by defeating 2023 champion and 2024 Marrakech runner-up, Roberto Carballes Baena. Griekspoor defeated Darderi twice last year, including on clay in the second round at Roland Garros. A straight-set defeat on the same surface should give him some confidence here. Both players can take advantage of the quicker, sunny clay in Marrakech and love to base their games around strong serving plus the forehand follow-up. The Dutchman does it with a bit more confidence and has a more innately attacking style. He should be able to stay on top of most rallies and that usually leads to success on this court.
