Marcos Giron vs Daniel Evans: Prediction and Betting Tips

Marcos Giron to go better than last year’s second-round exit

The 28-year-old Marcos Giron has been on the Tour for five years. Moreover, this is his just third appearance in the US Open main draw. Also, he never got past the second round, which was last year when he beat Polmans and then lost to Krajinovic.

Giron’s current rank of 64 is the best of his career. Notably, the American spent most of his career playing in Challenger tournaments. However, 2021 is the year in which he played the most ATP tournaments with a win/loss record of 14/15.

In this year’s US Open, Giron had a relatively easy first-round match against Hoang. Indeed, he won in three sets but they were close ones.  Now, he faces a much more experienced player to whom he lost in Melbourne earlier this year.

Giron Key Stats

• Giron won 80% of the points on his first serve in his first match
• The American committed just 12 unforced errors in the whole match
• The number of service games Giron won was 14/16

Daniel Evans will use his experience and form to overcome the homeboy

One ATP tour title and a Davis Cup triumph are what Daniel Evans collected as trophies in his 14 years as a pro. Actually, the only title he won was in 2021 at the Murray River Open in Melbourne.

In fact, this year was the Englishman’s best year as a pro. In addition to his title, Evans reached the semi-final of the Monte Carlo Masters. Also, he did very well during the grass season, winning four of his six matches.

Similar to his opponent, the Brit lost in the second round of the 2020 edition. However, Evan did reach the third round on three occasions. He faced some battle from Monteiro in the first round. The Brazilian leveled the score 1-1 after winning the second set in a tiebreak. But he fell apart in the fourth handing Evans a comfortable 6-1 finish.

Evans Key Stats

• Evans won 65% of the points on his second serve in his first-round match
• The Brit hit 45 winners
• Just once Evans lost his service game in the match

Marcos Giron vs Daniel Evans Prediction

The bookies are expecting a close game with the odds for Evans being 1.69 and Giron’s win 2.04 at Vbet. As we saw in the preview, both players are having their best career seasons this year.

However, given Evans’ experience and ability to play well on quick surfaces, we think the Brit can win. Also, the fact that Evans already beat Giron this year on a hard court, may put him in a better position.

Under 38.5 games for this match seems a reasonable outcome. At Vbet that bet has odds of 1.72 and we will back it.
