Marcos Giron is hoping the third time will be the charm…

The 30-year-old Argentine and Ecuadorian American professional tennis player outlasted fellow American Christopher Eubanks 6-4 3-6 6-2 in the semifinals of the Hall of Fame Open on Saturday to reach his third career ATP Tour final.

He served brilliantly in the opening set and played the important points well enough in the third to pull away from Eubanks, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.

“I was able to play well in those pressure moments again,” Giron said. “For me to make it to the finals of another ATP tournament is amazing.”

Giron lost just two of 17 points on his first serve in the opener before Eubanks blitzed to a 3-0 lead in the second. Giron got back on serve but was broken at 4-3 to force the last of three matches on the stadium court to the limit. Eubanks was broken to 2-0 in the third and couldn’t convert a break point at 3-1 that might have turned the tide.

“It’s good to see that my game can stand up against the best in the world,” Giron said. “I know that I have the level, but to actually do it is another thing.”

Giron was down 3-0 in the third set to Benoit Paire in his opening match before rallying to victory. The 30-year-old lost just five games in a quarterfinal rout of Alex Bolt and held his nerve late here to reach a second final of the season and third of his career.

It will be Giron’s second final of the year.

The World No. 48 lost in the final of the Dallas Open back in February to Tommy Paul.

Giron will face World No. 61 Alex Michelsen in Sunday’s final in Newport, Rhode Island. They have never previously faced off against each other.
