Grigor Dimitrov v Marcos Giron Head to Head
They played once before and it was in the 2021 Roland Garros round one. Dimitrov retired in the 4th set due to a back injury leading 2-1 in sets.

Dimitrov Hoping for 2022 RG Success
Grigor Dimitrov will be hoping that his 2022 Roland Garros goes better than his 2021 campaign. The Bulgarian drew Marcos Giron last year in round one and he outplayed him easily in the opening two sets. Giron won the 3rd as Dimitrov started to have trouble with his back and he retired in the 4th down 0-3.
The Bulgarian has played well this clay season with a couple of notable wins with some bad losses as well. He’s generally playing rather well lately but his draws have not been that well. Here he got Giron again and he will look to take advantage of that.
Dimitrov is 15-10 on the year and 8-4 on clay with a couple of solid RG outings in the past. Expect him to play very solid overall against a player who is not on his level.

Not Great from Giron
Marcos Giron is not having a great year and it’s a shame for the American who generally is a very solid player. Giron posted a 39-25 record last year and he hoped to build on that this year but it seemed like he simply peaked. It’s unclear how high he can really go from here but a 9-16 record this year is not great.
He has been playing mostly good players so that might explain it to a degree. He is 3-8 on clay and that’s not a surprise because he, like most Americans, does not play well. His game is based upon his strong serve and that gets negated on clay.
He has a decent forehand and moves rather well on the court but he simply lacks the power to build points effectively and finish it off. The longer a rally goes on the slimmer his chances are.
Dimitrov v Giron Prediction and Tip
This matchup should be on Dimitrov’s racquet. There are several reasons why. Firstly he is a far better player with a more complete game. Furthermore, he has played better on clay historically than Giron and he is in better form heading into this event.
The American is capable of putting up a good fight but the only sets he ever won against Dimitrov came after his back basically did not allow the Bulgarian to move. While he was healthy, Dimitrov outplayed Giron on these very courts last year. Back him to do it again.
Tip: Dimitrov to win in straight sets: 1/1 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
