Marcos Giron comes into this matchup with the benefit of already having a match under his belt in Indian Wells this week, and the American will also enjoy the comfort of playing at home. 

Those factors should help him settle quickly against Jakub Mensik and make this a very competitive contest.

Giron Confronts Rising Mensik

  • Giron has not beaten a Top 20 player since Rome last year. 
  • He holds a 2–1 record in second-round matches this year.
  • Mensik won at least two matches in all four events this year. 
  • He is on an 11-match streak vs outside Top 50 players. 

HTH - Jakub Mensik leads 1-0

Giron Shows Fight in Opening Round

Marcos Giron began his Indian Wells campaign with a comeback win over Mariano Navone, 4-6 7-5 6-0. After dropping the first set he raised his level and dominated the decider. He also has fourth-round points to defend this week. 

Giron started the season strongly by reaching the semifinals in Hong Kong and Auckland, showing solid form early in the year. 

His next three events ended in early exits, but all of those losses came against higher-ranked opponents and were closely contested matches, which still reflects his competitive level.

Mensik Continues Rapid Rise

Jakub Mensik reached a career-high ranking of No. 12 recently after a strong start to the season. His results include a title in Auckland, a fourth-round run at the Australian Open, a semifinal in Doha and a quarterfinal in Dubai. 

Mensik has the potential to become a top player, but frequent fitness issues have slowed his progress. Even so, he continues to deliver solid results whenever fully fit. 

With his higher ranking he receives a first-round bye in Indian Wells. He has played here twice before but has yet to move past the second round.

Verdict

Giron looks capable of keeping this close throughout. Over 10.5 games on Giron stands out, with the American also having a strong chance to win a set. A small punt on Giron to win 2–1 could also be worth considering.
