Taylor Fritz vs Marcos Giron Head-to-Head Series
The Fritz vs Giron h2h is 3-1 in favor of the former player in tour-level matches. But Fritz is also 3-0 against Giron when you include qualifying draws and challengers, for a 6-1 heads-up record for all professional matches. The two players met twice last season with Fritz winning both matches, one in Dallas and one in Geneva. There was some parity between the two players, with each match going to a decisive third set.
Fritz is into the semifinal following a win over Rinky Hijikata in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3. The American had a bye through the first round but beat Nuno Borges in the second round. Fritz is 4-0 on sets played this week so far.
Giron enters the match on a hot streak. He was in the Dallas Open last week, an event where he finished as the runner-up. Giron played five matches and eleven sets in that tournament, coming close to winning the title. So far in Delray Beach, he has played three matches and seven additional sets. In his most recent match, he defeated Patrick Kypson in straight sets.
Giron has played in eighteen sets of tennis since the start of the Dallas Open last week. That is starting to get to a point where you have to wonder if he is going to fall flat, especially as he draws a much fresher Top Ten player.

Fritz vs Giron Prediction: Fritz to win
Fritz is priced at -250 and it looks like a solid moneyline bet (bet365). He was very good at the Australian Open, he has been stingy this week in Delray Beach, and he is picking up a tiring opponent that he is 6-1 against. Odds of -250 are hard to pass up on as Fritz looks to defend his title at the Florida-based tournament.
Giron vs Fritz prediction: Draw at the 2024 Delray Beach Open
The winner of this match will face either Tommy Paul or Frances Tiafoe. Paul is favored in the semifinal, which creates the chance for a Fritz vs Paul final from Delray Beach this week.
