Marcos Giron vs Ben Shelton prediction
Marcos Giron only enters the Hamburg Open as a lucky loser, having lost to teenager Max Schoenhaus in the final stage of qualifying. Giron’s season began strongly, as he progressed to quarter-finals in Hong Kong and Auckland right at the start of the year. However, he has struggled in recent months, and he lost in the first-round of both Masters events in Madrid and Rome.
He faces Ben Shelton in the first-round. Shelton is the second seed in Hamburg. It’s been a topsy-turvy few weeks for the American, as he won his first title on clay following success at the BMW Open. However, he has not picked up a victory since then, having suffered surprising early losses in Madrid and Rome.
The head-to-head is 1-1, but this is their first match against each other on clay. Neither player is in the best of form, and there could be a tiebreak involved in one of the sets, if their first serves are firing.
Marcos Giron vs Ben Shelton tip: Over 20.5 games
