Prediction published on 27/02/2025, 02:33  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 27/02/2025 at 02:45 in Tennis Predictions

Ninth seed Denis Shapovalov and the unseeded Marcos Giron will next face off in the quarter-finals of the Mexican Open. This is their second meeting this season, and the winner will play Alejandro Davidovich Fokina or Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez in the semi-finals. Below is our prediction for this match.

Shapovalov is in great form. The Canadian, who arrived in Acapulco after claiming the Dallas title, has won seven straight matches.

Yet to lose a set in the last five matches in this hot streak, Shapovalov has improved to a 9-3 record. He defeated Alex Michelsen by the loss of seven games in the last round.

This hot streak has bumped him up to 30th in the live ranking.

Marcos Giron has never lost against Shapovalov. He won their most recent matchup in Adelaide in straight sets. Giron, who is also having a strong year, has never lost a set to Shapovalov.

The American, on seven wins in 10 matches, will, therefore, be confident of victory here. A win for Giron will allow him to move past the quarter-finals for the first time this season.

However, Giron, who is up to 47th in the live ranking, lost both quarter-final ties he contested this season. The 31-year-old advanced to the last eight after being granted a walkover in the last round.
