Marcos Giron vs Gabriel Diallo preview

Fifth seed Marcos Giron of the United States will take on Gabriel Diallo of Canada in the first round of the Delray Beach Open on Monday, February 10

Giron made a reasonable start to the year, reaching the second round of the Adelaide International. He then reached the third round of the Australian Open, where he lost in straight sets to eventual champion Jannik Sinner. The 31-year-old American is ranked 41st in the world and should be eager to do well on his home soil.

Diallo, the 23-year-old Canadian, is ranked 85th in the world. He has had an ordinary start to the year, having reached the second round of the Hong Kong Open and lost in the first round of the ASB Classic. He also reached the second round of the Australian Open, losing to Karen Khachanov of Russia.

Giron and Diallo are strict baseliners, but the former has much more experience at the top level. Giron is also arguably in better shape than his opponent on Monday. However, Diallo has age by his side and should be better able to win the match if it extends beyond a certain point.

Giron has a decent serve and forehand and will look to dominate proceedings with it. However, Diallo can be a persistent player in the baseline exchanges and should look to play longer rallies to tire his opponent.

It should be a pretty even match, with Giron enjoying a slight edge. The home advantage should also count for the American in the match and he should be able to grind out a victory in the end to qualify for the next round.

Pick: Giron in three sets
