Marcos Giron to win a set @ 1/2 (1.50)

It’s also worth mentioning that Nishioka suffered three straight sets losses in his last five matches; he surrendered at least one set in all of those five matches. Considering Giron took at least one set in five of his last six matches, we don’t think he’ll go down in straight sets.
