Marcos Giron vs Alexander Blockx prediction
Marcos Giron will be eyeing an all-American tussle with Brandon Nakashima in the second round – but will need to see off the challenge of Alexander Blockx first.
The American has slipped out of the top 50 as a result of three defeats on the spin and will be eager to make his mark on home turf against a Belgian qualifier sitting in 121st place on the ATP ladder.
This will be their first meeting with Blockx making a real impression on this surface at Challenger level, but it hasn’t translated across to the top tier.
Indeed, the Belgian underdog has played just eight main draw matches at tour-level in the past three years and lost every one of them.
Will that change here? It’s unlikely given the motivation Giron will have to halt his own dip in form and he certainly has the greater quality to tee up a clash for bragging rights that should interest the home support.
