Roberto Bautista-Agut vs Marcus Giron Prediction: Experienced Roberto faces faces emerging Marcus

ATP scene has heated up as we are reaching deep into the Cincinnati Masters. In this game, Spaniard Roberto Bautista-Agut will match-up against USA’s Marcus Giron. 

Roberto comes in the contest after defeating Francisco Cerundolo 6-7, 6-4, 6-2. August is a busybody who plays however many matches he can and even at age 34, his stamina is phenomenal. His biggest run recently was during Mallorca Open when he lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Finals. During the run, he also defeated heavyweight Daanil Medvedev. This is not surprising considering he has been a ninth ranked player at a point.

Giron entered the tournament as a qualifier and worked his way into the Round of 64 after defeating Fabio Fognini and Denis Kudla. In the Round of 64, he drew a tough match-up in the form of David Goffin but didn’t drop a single set and won comfortably in the end. Apart from that, Giron has not been able to make deep runs as such but overall, he is having his best year and has reached 54 in that regard.

Roberto and Giron have met once and that was during the Round of 64 of Canadian Open and in that battle, Roberto defeated Marcus in two sets

Roberto will come into this game with a lot of confidence and has beaten Marcus only once. There is no doubt that this is a huge game for Giron and as a top-20 player, it can be a strong match-up. Roberto is a terrific counterpuncher and he can work well as a defensive player.
