THE PREDICTION
Part-timer Matija Pecotic is the story of the week so far in Florida as the current world number 784 came back from a set down to claim the first tour-level win of his life. The 33-year-old will move into the late 600s after his remarkable victory on Tuesday, backing up some excellent results over Stefan Kozlov and Tennys Sandgren in qualifying, and it will be fascinating to see how he fares in this next match with the surprise factor gone. Particularly so as Pecotic will face world number 55 Marcos Giron, whose strong performances in 2023 were finally handed an eye-catching win over Ben Shelton in the first round. 29-year-old Giron took Taylor Fritz all the way in a tight defeat last week in Dallas and he is one win away from a third quarter-final of the season already after impressing in Auckland last month. Obviously there is little value in backing the American to win outright here, which would be the suitably cautious move given the clamour that Pecotic will enjoy on Wednesday, but Giron should be able to take this in straight sets as one of the more dependable players outside the top 50.
