Casper Ruud v Marcos Giron Head to Head
There have been three previous meetings between these two players and Ruud leads 2-1. This includes wins at Paris in 2021 and Los Cabos last year for Ruud while Giron had stolen their Tokyo Open encounter in 2023.
Ruud Has a Tough Time-Table
Following Casper Ruud’s second round upset at the Australian Open at the hands of Jakub Mensik, he had a bit of a break before he headed back home to feature in the Davis Cup.
However, immediately after his Davis Cup tie against Argentina ends on Saturday, he would need to fly to Dallas to feature in this tournament with just a day of recovery from the tennis and jet-lag.
Which could make things that much tougher when he takes to court for his first round match here.
Ruud had kick-started his season earlier at the United Cup where he won both his singles matches, defeating Hubert Hurkacz and Tomas Machac but his team failed to qualify for the second stage.
Can he now push on deeper into this ATP 500 event?

Giron Makes a Steady Start to the Season
A finalist at this competition last year, Marcos Giron will be hoping to go one better this season but he has a tough draw ahead of him.
For starters, Giron will be up against Ruud, who might be the best going around on these kind of faster surfaces but is still ranked fifth in the world. And Ruud is coming off a solid Davis Cup campaign as well.
Well, Giron has a counter to that with his own performances this year which have seen him make the quarterfinals at the Adelaide International and the third round at the Australian Open.
It had taken Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jannik Sinner respectively to take him out of those tournaments.
With an easy win over Chun Hsin Tseng in a Davis Cup tie late last week, Giron will hope to continue building on his form as he takes to court for this opener.
Ruud v Giron Prediction
Ruud starts a 3/5 favourite but it’s tough to go with him at those odds. We think Giron might have a decent chance of stealing at least one set off Ruud here.
Ruud v Giron Tips
