Marcos Giron vs Denis Shapovalov prediction
Marcos Giron ended his three match losing run at the European Open as he advanced to the second-round in Brussels. However, the American then suffered a defeat to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina despite taking the first set and having opportunities to break back in the decider. Giron has made five quarter-finals this season but has failed to go beyond that stage.
Denis Shapovalov will want to continue the momentum indoors after making the semi-finals of the Stockholm Open last time out. He faced Casper Ruud in the last four, a player he defeated in the final of the Dallas Open earlier in the year, but the Norwegian was too good on this occasion.
Giron leads the head-to-head 3-1 and has won two of their three matches this season. Nevertheless, Shapovalov is a strong indoors player and should be able to take the positives from his showing in Stockholm. His aggressive game could give him enough opportunities to come out on top in this one.
