This victory propels Giron into the second round of the tournament, while Rublev, last year's runner-up, continues to struggle following a disappointing performance at Roland Garros.

Marcos Giron beats #6 Andrey Rublev 6-4, 7-6(5) to reach the 2nd round in Halle. Rublev is not at a good place at the moment. After that sad show at Roland Garros, some of his reactions today... weren't better -- including after match point. A pity for such a great guy.
