For the ninth time in their careers, Taylor Fritz and Marcos Giron will be facing off. This time they clash on the clay courts at the Rome Masters in the second round. The winner here will face Pedro Martinez or Hubert Hurckacz next. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Fritz has lost more second-round matches at Rome Masters than in any other round (3). Last year he made it to the quarter-final and will hope to do better this time. His first match should be manageable.

In eight meetings with Giron, he managed seven wins. Heading into this game, he has seven wins in his last 10 matches.

Giron has struggled a bit this year, especially on clay. He comes into this match not only as the underdog but also with a losing run on clay.

In his seven matches on the surface so far in 2025, the American suffered four defeats. He also lost to Fritz in 2023 in Geneva, the only clay meeting between the two.

Giron, however, had a winning start in Rome, beating Gabriel Diallo in the first round in three sets, and will be hoping to pick up momentum going forward.

His journey at this event last year ended in the second round, and there’s fear thunder might strike twice, looking at his draw.
