Giron vs Buse Prediction 1 September 2026
🔊 Marcos Giron has drawn one of the trickier first-round assignments at the US Open - a match against Ignacio Buse, who arrives in New York off the biggest result of his career. The Peruvian will need to switch gears quickly to a more demanding format, while Giron faces the task of stopping an opponent riding a wave of confidence.
Head-to-Head
📊 The only previous meeting took place on 16 June 2026 on grass in London. Buse won 3-6, 7-5, 7-6.
Marcos Giron Player Overview
On hard courts in 2026, Giron has won 15 of 27 matches. He has held serve in 83% of his service games and broken in 23% of his opponents' service games. Those numbers reflect a fairly balanced game: Marcos is more reliable on serve than Buse, but the Peruvian has the edge on return.
Hiron's recent results heading into the US Open have been poor - losses to Dhakshainvar Suresh, Enrique Roche and Hubert Hurkacz. The one previous meeting with Buse came on grass in June, so it doesn't translate directly to the New York hard courts; it simply shows that Giron has already let an advantage slip against this opponent.
Match Results: Marcos Giron
Ignacio Buse Player Overview
On hard courts in 2026, Busé has won 8 of 12 matches. The Peruvian has held serve in 78% of his service games and broken in 28% of his opponents' service games. His serve is less reliable than Girón's, but his return game is a clear strength - Ignacio breaks far more frequently.
In Winston-Salem, Ignacio won five matches in a row. After Girón, he beat Adam Walton, Daniel Altmaier, Juan Manuel Cerúndolo and Benjamin Bonzi, then defeated Arthur Fery comfortably in the final. Over the course of the week he faced a variety of playing styles and dropped more than one set in a match just once. The main question is how well he has recovered from such a demanding tournament, though he did have two days off before the start of the US Open.
Match Results: Ignacio Buse
Key factors
- Buse has won 8 of his 12 hard-court matches in 2026.
- The Peruvian has broken serve in 28% of his opponents' service games; Giron's figure is 23%.
- Giron is the more reliable server, holding in 83% of his service games compared to 78% for Buse.
- Buse has won five matches in a row in Winston-Salem.
- Their only previous meeting was on grass and carries limited relevance here.
Expected scenario
Giron will be keen to avoid repeating their recent meeting, where a confident start gave way to extended rallies that allowed Buse to get into the match and put pressure on his serve. The American can gain an edge with his first serve, but on return the Peruvian is more aggressive and quicker to find opportunities against the second.
A four- or five-set match looks possible: there is no great gap between the two on serve, and their previous encounter went to a tie-break. Over a longer match, Buse's current confidence and more effective returning give him a modest but consistent edge.
Total Games Prediction
Their previous meeting was a lengthy affair, and both players are capable of mixing strong and weak spells within the same match. That said, the workload Buse has accumulated raises the possibility of a quicker finish as well. On balance, the match duration looks a less reliable angle than picking a side.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Buse arrives at this match off the best tournament of his career and holds an edge over Giron in return efficiency. The Peruvian has won 8 of 12 hard-court matches this season, while the American lost three in a row immediately before the US Open.
The workload from Winston-Salem and his first five-set match at this level remain risk factors, so taking the handicap on Buse is not advisable. A straight win bet allows for dropped sets and a difficult start. Our pick is Ignacio Buse to win.
