After reaching the Wimbledon final, Kyrgios‘ return to competition at the Atlanta Open didn’t go as planned. Despite withdrawing from singles competition due to an injury, he and Thanasi Kokkinakis competed in doubles. This year, he has had some quite respectable performances on hard courts. Kyrgios was defeated by Daniil Medvedev in the second round of the Australian Open at the start of the current campaign. In later competitions, his performance significantly improved. He defeated Jannik Sinner, Federico Delbonis, Casper Ruud, and Sebastian Baez in the Indian Wells Open to go to the quarterfinals.

Marcos Giron has had a few respectable performances this year, which have enabled him to get to the top 50 of the ATP rankings in May. His results on hard courts have been quite erratic. His trip to Australia at the beginning of the year was unsuccessful since he lost in the opening round of all three of the competitions he took part in, including the Australian Open. Later, Giron advanced to the Dallas Open semifinals before falling to Jenson Brooksby. Along the way to the last four, he defeated Taylor Fritz. Stefanos Tsitsipas beat him after he advanced to the Mexican Open quarterfinals. The 29-year-old lost in the first round in Indian Wells and Miami back-to-back times. Giron kicked off his American hard court swing by competing in the ongoing Atlanta Open. He lost to Soon Woo Kwon in three sets in the first round.

The increased firepower of Kyrgios’ groundstrokes may easily overwhelm his opponent. Although Giron is consistent in the outset, he lacks the tools necessary to pose a threat to the 27-year-old. The American has achieved a few top 20 victories so far this year.

Although Giron has defeated strong competitors like Taylor Fritz and Diego Schwartzman, his inconsistent performance frequently ends in failure. Kyrgios’ near-injury scare in Atlanta hasn’t significantly hampered him, so he should be totally ready for this match. Expect the Australian to have a successful opening round at the Citi Open.

Prediction: Kyrgios to win in straight sets.
