Marcos Giron vs Roberto Bautista Agut preview
Marcos Giron and Roberto Bautista Agut play in the first round of the Hamburg European Open. Giron had a decent Italian Open, knocking out fellow American and fourth seed Taylor Fritz in the second round, before succumbing to Hubert Hurkacz.
World No. 45 Marcos Giron has had a reasonably successful start to the year by his standards. In a third-round meeting with World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in Melbourne, the 31-year-old put up a decent show despite losing 3-6, 4-6, 2-6. This was followed by quarterfinal appearances at the Mexican Open and Delray Beach. He also had a good win in Madrid, beating young gun Learner Tien.
37-year-old Bautista Agut is having a challenging season thus far, struggling for wins. However, the clay is his favorite surface. He has reached the fourth round at Roland Garros twice, in 2016 and 2017. He won a clay-court title in Kitzbuhel in 2022, which was an ATP 250 event.
Bautista Agut is a tour veteran in his 21st year as a professional. He was a Wimbledon semifinalist in 2019, when he lost to Novak Djokovic. Bautista Agut is in the closing stages of an impressive career that has seen him capture12 ATP Tour titles.

Marcos Giron vs Roberto Bautista Agut prediction
.
Marcos Giron has the better recent results and is in good form. He also has a win over in-form Casper Ruud at Indian Wells, and this, together with his recent victories over Learner Tien and Taylor Fritz, will have improved his confidence, so that if he plays his best tennis, he's capable of beating anyone.
Bautista Agut is the better clay court player, but his best days are behind him. If the American reproduces the form that saw him beat Taylor Fritz last week, he should beat the Spaniard comfortably.
Pick: Marcos Giron in straight sets.
