Corentin Moutet vs Marcos Giron preview
Top seed Moutet will face seventh seed Giron in the semifinals of the 2026 Arizona Tennis Classic in Phoenix. Moutet, ranked World No. 33, is the top seed at the Challenger event after spending most of his time on the ATP Tour.
The Frenchman has had a slow start to the 2026 season with a modest record on the main tour, but he chose to compete in Arizona after an early exit at Indian Wells. His run in Phoenix has helped him regain rhythm and confidence as he looks to capture the title.
Giron, meanwhile, has been enjoying a solid season. The American has collected several strong results on the ATP Tour, including two semifinal runs so far, and he has carried that form into the Challenger circuit. Ranked No. 69 and seeded seventh in Phoenix, Giron has looked sharp throughout the week.

Corentin Moutet vs Marcos Giron prediction
Giron has been particularly impressive throughout the week. The American opened his campaign with a dominant 6-0, 6-1 win over Daniel Merida, then battled past Jay Friend 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (9) in the round of 16.
He followed it up with a strong quarterfinal performance, defeating fourth seed Nuno Borges 7-6(8), 6-2 to book his place in the last four.
Moutet, the top seed, received a first-round bye. The Frenchman beat Quentin Halys 6-4, 6-4 in the round of 16 and then overcame Nikoloz Basilashvili 7-6(5), 6-4 in the quarterfinals to reach the semifinals without dropping a set.
This clash could turn into a tight battle. Giron has momentum and the home crowd on his side, while Moutet’s creativity and higher ranking give him a slight edge. If the Frenchman controls the rallies and mixes his shots well, he could just about come through in a close match.
Pick: Moutet in three sets.
