Jack Draper vs Marcos Giron prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Monte Carlo Masters 2025

Draper plays Giron for the first time at an ATP 1000 event and enters Monte Carlo with a 2-0 lead over his rival.

Jack Draper returns to competitive tennis after taking a break following his success at Indian Wells. The Brit also rises to a career-high ranking of World No. 6 after Norwegian Casper Ruud drops a spot to No. 7. Draper joins Rafael Nadal as the only other player to make the ATP Top 10 as a left-hander this century.

After winning the Indian Wells title, the southpaw entered the top ten for the first time, rising from 14th to 7th.

Fifth seed Jack Draper will take on Marcos Giron in a third career head-to-head after the American defeated Denis Shapovalov in the first round. Giron took out Shapovalov, winner of the 2025 Dallas Open, in straight sets to register a 7-6(5), 6-3 win. Giron and Shapovalov were facing off for the first time in an ATP 1000 event.

Shapovalov’s game on Monday was riddled with errors, with the Canadian making as many as 49 unforced errors and four double faults. Shapovalov’s 28 winners could not salvage the situation for the 25-year-old from Ontario. In the end, Giron took a 3-1 lead against Shapovalov after one hour and 48 minutes of play.

Preview

Jack Draper takes on Marcos Giron as he embarks on his quest for a second ATP 1000 title in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters on Tuesday. The Indian Wells champion was awarded a bye into the second round.

Meanwhile, Giron outlasted Denis Shapovalov to set up the meeting with the Briton. The 23-year-old Draper faces no pressure as he has no points to defend, having lost in the first round in the 2024 edition. Giron, at 31, reached the round of 16 at Indian Wells for the first time.

He will now look to improve on that result when he takes on Draper in the second round. Giron, who won the Newport Open on the Challenger Tour last season in an all-American final against Alex Michelsen, would no doubt like to experience the winning feeling again. In his time at Indian Wells, Giron upset Casper Ruud in three sets for his maiden top-five win on the men’s tour.

Match Prediction

Jack Draper is cushioned by a 2-0 advantage over Marcos Giron in their head-to-head. It includes a lengthy three-hour, 20-minute five-setter against Giron before the Englishman prevailed, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-0, 6-2.  The momentum will be in Draper’s corner after he won his first Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells last month. 

The Brit and the American lost closely fought opening-round matches in Miami, Draper to eventual winner Jakub Mensik, and Giron to Jordan Thompson. Draper will be the odds-on favourite to win despite Giron putting on a solid display against Denis Shapovalov to earn his first win at Monte Carlo.

Draper’s recent surge on tour has tilted the balance in his favour even before the two players take the court. The Englishman’s ranking of World No. 6 and 39 places ahead of Giron, and complimented by a strong serve and potent all-round game, should quell any challenge by his American rival in a match-up that could go the distance. 

Result: Draper will win in three sets.
