Marcos Giron, despite being considered a “late blooming” player on tour, has made significant strides over the past few years. He entered the top 100 for the first time at the age of 27, and the top 50 at the age of 28. This year, at the age of 29, Giron won his first ATP title at a grass tournament in Newport.

‍

Today, as he turns 30, Girone has added another significant achievement to his collection.

Victory in Antwerp

‍

Marcos Girón picked up his 100th career victory at the Antwerp tournament on Tuesday, defeating Botik van de Zandschulp, who had earlier defeated Carlos Alcaraz at the U.S. Open. The match ended 6-4, 6-1 in favor of Giron.

‍

Giron thus became the sixth active American to reach the 100-win mark at the ATP level.
