Ben Shelton has won his last two meetings against Marcos Giron in three sets.
On Thursday, Shelton will take on Giron for the fourth time with the winner advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2026 Stuttgart Open.
Shelton will be playing his first match on grass in 2026. After winning a clay-court title in Munich, Shelton went 2-4 in his last six matches on clay and crashed out in the second round of the 2026 French Open, bowing to Raphael Collignon in straight sets 4-6, 5-7, 6-3.
Giron marched into the second round after earning his first-ever win over former Wimbledon Open semifinalist Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6, 7-5. Giron sports a solid 29-21 record on grass, but he is only 0-2 against top-10 competitions this year. Interestingly, Giron managed to drag Shelton to three sets in those last two matches. DraftKings sets a competitive -140 price on Giron at +1.5 sets.

Our Ben Shelton vs Marcos Giron Prediction
Marcos Giron pushes Ben Shelton to the limit once again.
Shelton is going to experience rust in his first match on grass this year, which is something the veteran Giron will be trying to exploit.
Giron might be 0-2 against the top-10 players this year, but he has the skills and record to match up well with elite-level players. Heck, he can even deliver an upset if he catches fire. Giron has 6 career wins over top-10 competition.
While Shelton remains a formidable pick to win, Giron can definitely steal a set here. His familiarity with Shelton’s game and counterpunching style should allow him to hold most of his serves and convert a few breakpoints against the No.1 seed..
Our betting prediction for Ben Shelton vs. Marcos Giron: Marcos Giron +1.5 sets
