Current Form:

After a promising 5-1 start, during which he reached the quarterfinals in Hong Kong and semifinals in Auckland, Giron has lost his last two opening round matches. Giron bowed to Learner Tien in a five-set thriller at the Australian Open and Taylor Fritz in a competitive three-set battle in Dallas.

Sho Shimabukuro qualified for the main draw of the Delray Beach Open after picking up straight-set wins over Benjamin Willwerth of the United States and Adam Walton of Australia. The Japanese also competed at the Dallas Open as a qualifier, taking Miomir Kecmanovic to the limit in a gallant 7-6, 3-6, 7-6 loss.

Our Sho Shimabukuro vs Marcos Giron Prediction

Fearless Forecast: Marcos Giron will sweep Sho Shimabukuro 6-4, 6-4

Despite Giron’s recent troubles in opening-round matches, it is important to mention that his last two losses came at the hands of two quality players in Learner Tien and Taylor Fritz. Giron competed well in these matches, losing both in the deciding set.

Shimabukuro might be on a 4-1 mini run, but Adam Walton was the only top-100 player he defeated in this stretch. Kecmanovic ranks No.83 in the world, but he had lost seven matches in a row before that clutch win over Shimabukuro.
