In what is not an everyday occurrence, two players right next to each other in the ATP rankings will go head-to-head at the Monte Carlo Masters on Tuesday. World number 49 Zhang Zhizhen looks too make a winning return to the clay against world number 48 Marcos Giron, who has already played a few times on clay in recent weeks. Can the US player bounce back following his defeat to Darderi at the ATP event in Houston last week?

Our Zhizhen Zhang vs Marcos Giron Prediction

Separated by just one position in the rankings, it would be fair to assume that this could be quite a close game, though looking at the early lines, it's not too dofficult to conclude that the US player is slightly generously priced. While Zhang hasn't played competitively on the clay since August, Giron has had some positive recent clay-court experience, playing three matches, two of which he's won. The way in which the American beat J.J. Wolf last week bodes well, suggesting that he probably deserves more respect in the betting ahead of a match against a player who hasn't played on clay in a while and who hasn't exactly been in good form of late, losing four out of five recently. Our Prediction: Marcos Giron to Win.
