The world number 12 eventually overcame spirited resistance from the Dutchman with a 6-7 (7-5), 7-6 (8-6), 7-5 victory in a match lasting around three hours.
“I feel like I was here for 10 hours today. I felt like me and Tallon played for ages and I feel like it was a marathon. We started yesterday and finished today,” he joked.
“I always felt that he brought the best out of me. These are matches that are going to be remembered.”
