Marcos Giron vs Jack Draper preview
The second round of the Boss Open being held on the grasscourts of the Tennis Club Weissenhof in Stuttgart will have Marcos Giron lock horns with Jack Draper in an exciting encounter.
Trending
Draper, the sixth seed at this year’s tournament, has put together a mediocre 13-12 win-loss for the season. He came into the tournament on a three-match losing streak and has not made a Tour-level quarterfinal since the Bavarian International back in April.
He opened his campaign with a tight two-set win over Sebastian Ofner, prevailing 7-6(4), 7-6(5) and will be looking for an easier outing up next.
Giron, meanwhile, will be riding high following his dismantling of Andy Murray in the first round. He cruised to a 6-3, 6-4 win, also snapping his three-match losing streak in style.
The American has not had much to cheer about in 2024, as evidenced by his negative 11-13 win-loss for the season. He will hope that a change of surface also brings about a change in fortunes for him.

Marcos Giron vs Jack Draper prediction
Both Marcos Giron and Jack Draper possess similar power-packed games and were on top of their encounters in the opening round.
While Draper fired eight aces and won 89% of his first serve points, Giron was not far behind with seven aces and an 80% first serve winning percentage.
Needless to say, fans can expect a tight contest and some quick service games, with the grass helping both men. Things are likely to come down to the handling of the big moments and that’s where Draper has the edge.
Having already played and won two tiebreakers this week, he is better equipped at dealing with pressure situations. His win from Down Under earlier this year will also give him confidence and should tilt things in his favor.
Prediction: Draper to win in three sets.
