THE PREDICTION
Former world number two Dominic Thiem won nine games in a row on Monday to hand Joao Sousa a second-set bagel in a comprehensive open at the Gijon Open. The 29-year-old is currently ranked at 165th in the world as he continues the long road back to the top of the sport after missing over a year from the tour following surgery to his wrist. This should be a much a tougher scrape for the Austrian against in-form Marcos Giron, with the American recently making his first tour final at the San Diego Open last month. World number 62 Giron, also 29, came back from a set down to beat Albert Ramos-Vinolas on Tuesday for an impressive opener and he has the engine to stay offensive against Thiem here. The last three players to have beaten Thiem were top 20 stars Pablo Carreno Busta, Marin Cilic and Hubert Hurkacz which heavily suggests that he is steadily improving his strength on court. Thiem beat Giron in straight sets in their only previous encounter early last season but backing him to come through outright is the sensible option at this moment in time.
