Marcos Giron put on an impressive performance in the first round of the French Open, winning 6-0, 6-2, 1-6, 6-0 against highly regarded Hamad Medjedovic. Despite the fact that clay is not his preferred surface, the American has shown encouraging signs on this difficult terrain. He reached his first-ever clay quarterfinal in Munich and has delivered four bagels in the 11 clay matches he has played this year.Giron is 1-1 in the second round of the French Open heading into Thursday’s match. At this stage of the tournament in 2020, he was defeated by Thiago Monteiro. However, in the following edition, in 2021, he defeated Guido Pella in four sets.

In contrast to Jiri Lehecka’s poor clay form this year, where he arrived at the French Open winless in four matches, his opponent Jan Lennard Struff had enjoyed significant success at the Monte Carlo Masters (quarterfinals) and Madrid Masters (finals), earning the title of the new German #1. However, their first-round match in Paris was a remarkably even contest, with both players appearing on equal footing throughout, and it was the in-form Lehecka who emerged victorious after a five-setter. During the early part of the 2023 season, the talented Czech youngster displayed exceptional tennis.

Head to head

Jiri Lehecka has a 1-0 lead. Last November, the Czech won this matchup in straight sets in an indoor event at Paris Masters, and playing on clay only improves his chances against the American. Having said that, Giron can take heart from Lehecka’s shaky form on clay in recent months, which gives him hope for their upcoming match.
