During the early evening for those situated stateside, there's action to get stuck into at the ATP event in Auckland, New Zealand, known also as the ASB Classic. Not for the first time in 2026, Alexandre Muller and Marcos Giron will do battle. Less than a week ago, these two players met in Hong Kong, where the American came out on top, winning in straight sets. Following that victory and generally pleasing start to the year, Giron, who has won three out of four since returning to the courts in 2026, will surely fancy himself to come out on top here.
While Giron has played two matches since beating Muller, this will be the first outing for the French player since going down in Hong Kong back on January 8th. The man currently ranked 50th in the world has had time to rest and recover ahead of this encounter. Will that make a difference? Or will he once again come up short?

Our Alexandre Muller vs Marcos Giron Prediction
Following his win against Muller in Hong Kong last week, Marcos Giron cam unstuck against Bublik, but he played well in defeat, picking up a set, which tells me that he should have little problem beating his French opponent for a second time in less than a week. His win over Muller last week was a reasonably convincing one, with the American player winning in straight sets.
Frankly, with similar conditions, I see no real reason why Marcos Giron won't repeat last week's victory over Alexandre Muller, so much so that odds of -115 look too good to ignore.
