Marcos Giron’s tennis racquet
Marcos Giron was a Yonex VCORE 95 user until some years back when he wanted more directional control from the racquet. Now he plays with the Yonex Percept 97D with a Polytour Pro and gut hybrid. The Percept 97D has a 18/20 string pattern. We have reviewed this racquet via the link but also on our YouTube channel.
In short, an excellent racquet for control and for high level players like Marcos Giron. Ps. Giron is now sponsored by Vuori apparel. Ds.
Bio and Career
Marcos Giron was born on July 24th, 1993, in Thousand Oaks, California. The now 31-year-old right-hander, of Argentine and Ecuadorian descent, began playing tennis at age 6 at the local park.
Giron’s professional career kind of started following a good collegiate run at UCLA, where he won the 2014 NCAA Division I singles title. His pro breakthrough came in 2020 though, getting into the top 100 after overcoming two hip surgeries a few years earlier. His first ATP win came in 2014 at the Winston-Salem Open, defeating qualifier Ryan Harrison. Giron’s Grand Slam highlights include third-round runs at the 2021 and 2023 French Open, the former after rallying from 6-2, 6-4, 5-1 down against Dimitrov, and the 2025 Australian Open, where he beat Etcheverry in five sets.
His biggest career moment came in 2024, claiming his maiden ATP title at the Hall of Fame Open, saving a championship point to defeat Alex Michelsen 6-7(4), 6-3, 7-5. Earlier career highlights include a semifinal run at the 2024 Dallas Open, where he beat Top 20 players Frances Tiafoe and Adrian Mannarino, and a 2023 Toronto upset of Holger Rune, his best win by ranking at the time.
The 2025 season has been mixed. At Indian Wells, Giron got his first Top 5 win, beating top 10 player Casper Ruud, followed by a victory over 26th seed Alexei Popyrin, reaching the fourth round of a Masters 1000 for the first time.
Giron reached a career-high singles ranking of no 37 (August 2024), and a peak doubles ranking of no 194 (August 2022).
Currently, as of March 21, 2025, he sits at no 45 in the world rankings.
