He reached his first ATP Tour final at the age of 29 and in his home state of California at the 2022 San Diego tournament. He has also qualified for 11 ATP Masters 1000 events, with notable runs to the third round of the 2020 and 2021 Paris tournaments, as well as the 2023 Toronto event. Giron has had success in Grand Slam tournaments, reaching the third round of the 2021 Roland Garros, the 3rd round of the 2023 Roland Garros, and the 3rd round of the 2025 Australian Open. He won the NCAA singles title for UCLA in 2014 and broke into the Top 100 in 2020 after undergoing hip surgeries.
It is worth noting that Giron has defeated 2021 runner-up Basilashvili in the first round and No. 5-ranked player Ruud in the second round, which are the biggest wins of his career. He currently has a 1-10 record against Top 5 players. If he advances to the quarterfinals in this tournament, Giron would become the oldest player to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal at the age of 31 years and 7 months.
Arthur Fils, on the other hand, is 20 years old and ranked World No. 21. His career-high ranking is No. 19, achieved in January 2025.

In his Grand Slam debut at the 2021 Roland Garros, Fils defeated former Top 20 player Tomic. He also reached the boys’ singles final and won the boys’ doubles title in that tournament. Fils is aiming to advance to his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal in Indian Wells and become the youngest French quarterfinalist since Santoro in 1993. If he achieves this, he would be the second man born in 2004 or later to reach an ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal, following Mensik’s accomplishment in Shanghai in October 2024.
To summarize, Giron and Fils will be meeting for the first time in this match.
