Miomir Kecmanovic and Marcos Giron are tied at two wins apiece in their head-to-head
but this will be their first meeting on clay
Kecmanovic has posted solid clay-court numbers recently and has more experience on the surface
While Giron has been steady in recent months
Kecmanovic’s comfort on clay should give him a slight edge at the ATP Munich Open
Ben Shelton and Borna Gojo are set for their first career meeting in the opening round of the 2025 ATP Munich tournament
has had limited exposure on clay this season
with his sole match resulting in a first-round loss to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at the Monte Carlo Masters
recently defeating Alexander Shevchenko in straight sets during the Munich qualifiers
While Shelton has limited clay playing time this season
his overall firepower still gives him a slight edge
Gojo has looked solid in qualifying and should be well positioned to challenge him on the slower surface
Billy Harris and David Goffin will meet for the second time in their careers in the opening round of the 2025 ATP Munich tournament
having secured a three-set victory at the 2024 Australian Open
While Harris has shown resilience in qualifying matches
Goffin’s experience and consistency on clay courts make him the slight favorite in this encounter

The two longtime radio hosts and former ESPN personalities are shopping their GoJo and Golic show after DraftKings chose not to renew their contracts, according to Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports
In a follow-up interview with Barrett Media
Golic explained that the decision was part of a wider strategy pivot by DraftKings
“DraftKings said that they were going to stop all in-house produced shows,” Golic told Barrett
They’ll still do the shows that are self producing
but my son and I’s show was one that was produced in-house
and they’re stopping all their content that’s produced in house.”
DraftKings had turned GoJo and Golic into a centerpiece of its live sports content slate on DraftKings Network
an over-the-top offering from the gambling operator
The departure of the Golics leaves a big opening from 8-10 each morning on the network
The company told Front Office Sports that it wants to “optimize current and future investments” in its content slate
DraftKings has decided not to renew agreements with Mike Golic Sr
We want to thank the Golics for their contributions to DraftKings,” the company told FOS in a statement
“We remain focused on optimizing current and future content investments to continue to grow the audiences for DraftKings Network and DraftKingsNetwork.com.”
Barrett reported that DraftKings did not respond to a request for comment on cutting in-house production
Both also work as television game analysts
calling Mountain West games for TNT Sports while Golic calls NFL games for Westwood One
FOS reported that the Golics have had exploratory talks with Yahoo Sports on moving their show to that platform
