The match was challenging from the beginning for Bergs, while Giron showcased an almost flawless performance. Taking two breaks early on, Giron maintained a commanding lead. Despite the crowd's support, Bergs struggled to find his rhythm, only managing to secure the first game of the second set before Giron took control once more.
“I did not expect him to play at such a level,” Bergs admitted post-match. He struggled to adapt, acknowledging Giron's superior performance. The match revealed where both players stood, with Giron advancing to the semi-finals after swiftly dealing with Bergs' attempts to regain momentum.
Looking Ahead
Moving forward, Marcos Giron will compete against Jiri Lehecka in the semifinals. Meanwhile, Zizou Bergs will have to wait until next week to see a rise in his ATP ranking, as he is set to enter the top 65 for the first time, a highlight amidst his disappointment at the tournament.
