Marcos Giron's maiden ATP Tour title triumph at the Infosys Hall of Fame Open in Newport was a testament to his resilience and serving prowess. The 30-year-old American fired 13 aces in the thrilling three-set final against compatriot Alex Michelsen, including a match-winning ace on his second championship point.
Giron, seeded second, dropped the first set in a tiebreaker but rallied to win the second and third sets 6-3, 7-5. His victory marked the ninth different first-time winner on the ATP Tour this season.
Michelsen, a teenager who reached the final last year, fought valiantly but couldn't overcome Giron's powerful serve and forehand. Giron's victory was particularly impressive considering he won three of his four matches this week in deciding sets.
The Thousand Oaks, California native is set to break into the Top 40 of the ATP rankings when they are released on Monday. He will represent the United States at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, his second Olympic appearance.
Giron's triumph in Newport is a testament to his hard work and dedication. He has been a consistent performer on the ATP Tour for several years, and his maiden title victory is a well-deserved reward.
