Although Giron was two places better in the world rankings (67th and 65th), Fucsovics can boast the best position of the two players’ careers (31st and 49th), and the fact that the American is 171st ranked Hugo Dellient was also not to be neglected. beat him in three close games, while the Hungarian was ranked 28th Tallon knocked out Griekspoor confident in the first round.
In the only match between the parties so far, the Hungarian player won “away” and in the 2022 tournament in Miami he defeated the American 6:3, 6:4 in the opener in a game that lasted an hour and a half – only to be bid farewell to Carlos Alcaraz, who eventually won the tournament as well him in the second round.
As is usual with such omens, Giron started well, immediately took Fucsovics’ serve and went 3:0… The tennis player from Nyíregyháza also quickly made up for it with three straight wins, and since none of them gave the hosts a chance from then on, it was possible to shorten .
In this one, our guy had a better start, after 3-0, the American brought his two serves, but did not win any more points (7:6, 7–2).
The momentum continued in the second act, he took Girone after two straight serves, and then led 4:1 after another successful boom of his own. During the next bet, the 29-year-old rival already had a break point with which he could have even gotten back into the set, but Fucsovics turned the game around and got two set points on Giron’s serve. He didn’t use them yet, but as a server after 40:0 he had three more chances to take a 2:0 lead, of which he already ended the game with the second and the fourth in total (6:3).
And he started the next one well, as he immediately took Giron’s serve, and after winning his own, he got three more break points at 0:40. Despite this, the 3:0 advantage was not achieved, and not long after, the American already had the advantage (3:4). The next turn could have come right away, since at 4:4 at 15:40 he had two more scoring chances, but he couldn’t take advantage of them either, not so Giron with the next one, so he improved (4:6).
Since we were already well into the evening according to local time, the clash was interrupted due to darkness, and the parties will only resume on Friday.
Quarter-finalist Márton Fucsovics in Wimbledon in 2021 can reach the gate of the top 50 with another success. Daniil Medvedev (3.) The winner of his battle against Adrian Mannarino will be his opponent (6:3, 6:3, 4:4). The Russian also had his best grass court GS tournament performance in 2021, when he was eliminated one lap ahead of Fucsovics.
If both leading players advance, then Medvedev, who recently made a joke about the structure of Fuchsovich this could be his fourth match against him, in 2018 in Monte-Carlo and in the final in Sofia in 2019, the Russian won, but in 2020 at Roland Garros, Fucsovics defeated his rival in four sets.
