Giron it purrs!
Very recent winner of his first ATP tournament at almost 31 years old, Marcos Giron is in top form and will surely arrive at the Olympics with very good energy!
And even if he won this title on grass, I don't care, I want to say. Okay, he's not a clay player at all. But we play in 2 winning sets and Félix is not Facundo Diaz Acosta (understand: he's not the clay player par excellence). The counter-attacking qualities of a Giron happy to be there can have their effect on me. I've seen the American play on clay this season, and he's improved. He clearly refused to start playing like an Argentinian, but he was moving well and becoming a little more patient. Newport finished almost a week ago, so he's had a few days to adapt to the time zone and hit the ochre of Roland. I think the books don't take his current form into account enough. Of course Félix plays better on clay and he has a training tournament in his legs. But we are no longer at altitude and the last time they played, Giron won. A match not so easy for Félix I think, despite his great level in Gstaad against the future winner!
