Marcos Giron vs Henry Searle preview

Marcos Giron in action at the Australian Open

The first round of Wimbledon 2024 will see Marcos Giron of the USA take on British wildcard Henry Searle. Giron started the 2024 season on a good note, having made it to the final of Dallas Open (losing to Tommy Paul), and the semifinals of the Delray Beach Open (losing to Taylor Fritz). In the clay season, Giron also made the quarter-final at the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston.

The American suffered first-round exits at both majors so in 2024, having lost to Jack Draper at the Australian Open and to Jozef Kovalik at the French Open.

Giron has played three tournaments on grass in the buildup to this year's Wimbledon. He lost in the second rounds at the BOSS Open and the Rothesay International in Eastbourne. At the Terra Wortmann Open, Giron was able to make it to the quarter-finals before losing to Hubert Hurkacz.

Henry Searle won the Junior Wimbledon title last year, winning against Yaroslav Demin in the final, while also taking out top seed Juan Carlos Prado Angelo en route. The young British player gave a good account of himself as he won both the semi-final and final in straight sets.

In 2024, Searle has been playing challenger events mostly. However, he debuted on the ATP Tour as a lucky loser at the Rothesay International. He lost to Lorenzo Sonego in the first round of the main draw.

Marcos Giron vs Henry Searle prediction

Giron has a 14-15 record in 2024, even though he started with some good results in the first part of the year. The losing record shows that the form might have tapered off for the American. However, he has played extensively on grass before Wimbledon, and that will help him during the Grand Slam.

Searle has a good experience playing on grass. Even on a junior level, he has played on the center court at Wimbledon. His ATP debut was on the surface as well. During last year's Wimbledon, the young Brit's first serve was recorded at an excess of 130 mph. He will also have the home crowd support.

Giron will be going in this match as the favorite as his opponent is a 18-year-old who has only played one match on the ATP Tour. However, if Searle can land his big left-handed serves regularly, there might be scope for an interesting match.

Pick- Marcos Giron to win in straight sets
