Result
Marcos Giron recovered from a set down to beat Corentin Moutet 4–6 6–4 7–5 6–4 in 3 hours 26 minutes in the Wimbledon first round. The margins were slim — Moutet edged the winners count 51 to 47 with near-identical unforced-error totals — but Giron converted six of 12 break points to Moutet's four of seven and won the total-points count 133 to 122. Moutet's afternoon ended in frustration, with the Frenchman smashing his racket late in the match.

At this Stage
Marcos Giron does not do drama; Corentin Moutet does little else. For three hours and 26 minutes the contrast played out point by point — Moutet actually edged the winner count 51 to 47 — before the American's steadiness won the arguments that mattered: six breaks from 12 chances to the Frenchman's four of seven, and a 4-6 6-4 7-5 6-4 scoreline that had Moutet smashing his racket before the end. The win made it six consecutive years reaching the Wimbledon second round for Giron, a quiet stat that says plenty about his reliability at exactly this stage. Next came Quentin Halys, conqueror of 32nd seed Matteo Arnaldi — and Giron won that one too, this time without needing the full grind.
