Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Marcos Giron (USA) is set to face Zizou Bergs (BEL) in their first meeting. Giron, aged 31 and ranked World No. 47, reached a career-high ranking of No. 37 in August 2024. He achieved this after saving one match point in the Newport final, where he won his first ATP Tour title. Giron advanced to his first ATP Tour final at the age of 29 in his home state of California at the 2022 San Diego tournament. He also qualified for 10 ATP Masters 1000 events, including the 2023 Toronto tournament, where he earned the biggest win of his career against No. 6 Rune in the second round. In the 2021 Roland Garros, Giron rallied from being down 6-2, 6-4, 5-1 and saved three match points against Dimitrov in the first round to reach the third round. Giron won the NCAA singles title in 2014 for UCLA and broke into the Top 100 in 2020 after undergoing hip surgeries in 2015 and 2016.

Giron is seeking his eighth ATP Tour semifinal, with three of them being indoors (2021 Sofia, 2022 & 2024 Dallas). In 2024, he has a record of 8-1 when seeded, including a quarterfinal appearance in Houston (lost to Darderi) and a title in Newport (defeated Michelsen).

On the other hand, Bergs is 25 years old and ranked World No. 69, his career-high ranking. The former World No. 12 junior broke into the Top 200 in July 2021 and the Top 100 in June 2024. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 69 in October 2024 soon after earning the biggest win of his career against No. 24 Tabilo to reach the third round of Roland Garros as a qualifier. Bergs secured his first ATP Tour win against Ramos-Vinolas at the 2020 Antwerp tournament when he was ranked 528th and received a wildcard. He then advanced to his first ATP Tour quarterfinal at the 2023 Gstaad tournament as a qualifier. Other notable achievements include defeating former World No. 8 Sock to win the 2022 Ilkley Challenger title and winning multiple Challenger titles.

Bergs is playing in his second ATP Tour quarterfinal, his first being at the 2023 Gstaad tournament on clay (lost to Kecmanovic). He is currently ranked No. 65 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings and would rise to No. 61 if he becomes the first Belgian semifinalist in Antwerp since his coach Bemelmans in 2017.

In the PIF ATP Live Race to Turin, Jannik Sinner leads the standings with 10,330 points, followed by Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, and Taylor Fritz. The current rankings also include Casper Ruud, Andrey Rublev, Alex de Minaur, Grigor Dimitrov, Tommy Paul, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Hubert Hurkacz, Frances Tiafoe, Holger Rune, and Lorenzo Musetti. Those players who are in bold have qualified for the 2024 Nitto ATP Finals in Turin.
