Alexandre Muller vs Marcos Giron prediction

Alexandre Muller takes on Marcos Giron for the first time with a place in the last eight in Hong Kong on the line. 

The French seventh seed kicked off 2026 with a 7-5 6-4 win over Miomir Kecmanovic while Giron crushed qualifier Laslo Djere 6-2 6-0.

The American can make a real scrap of things when on-song and his confidence will be high heading int this encounter. However, Muller is defending the title here and clearly enjoys the conditions. 

It’s hard to see this being routine and it may well go three but we expect the world number 52 to have the answers against an opponent just 12 places below him on the ATP ladder.
