Marcos Giron will face fellow unseeded player Yannick Hanfmann seeking his first victory at the Australian Open. They will battle in the first round with the winner taking on Tomas Martin Etcheverry or Flavio Cobolli next. Read on for our prediction for this match.

Marcos Giron has lost in the first round in each of his five appearances in this major. He will be eager not to suffer another early exit and as the best hardcourt player in this tie, he will be confident of victory.

Giron has won almost 250 hardcourt matches in his career. Two have come in his three outings this season. The American, who is ranked 46th in the ATP, is coming off a quarter-final run in Adelaide.

Yannick Hanfmann has also suffered multiple first-round heartaches in his previous Australian Open campaign. The German, who is making his fifth appearance in this major, has lost three times in the first round.

He had his best performance in the 2022 season when he made it to the second round. Considering he has won four of six matches this season, he will fancy his chances against Giron.

Hanfmann, who is coming off a first-round exit in Adelaide, has moved up five places and into 90th place in the live ranking.
