Dimitrov happy to face Tsitsipas
Talking after his 3rd round match that ended up with Carballes Baena retiring, Grigor expressed his eagerness to play against Stefanos. The Bulgarian sensation commented:
“I don’t know much about him, to be honest, outside the court. I’ve clearly watched him play a lot of matches. Yeah, he’s been having very, very good results, playing good tennis on any surface.
I’m excited first of all to be in the second week of that tournament. It’s a great feeling. I want to hold onto it and kind of focus on my side of the net.
I’ve never played against him an official match. Yeah, I’m looking forward to the match. I’m very pleased at where my game is right now. My body as well. So, yeah, one-handers, of course. We go from there.”
Prediction and H2H
As per Dimitrov’s words, Stefanos and Grigor have never played each other in official matches. Both live in Monte Carlo and they had definitely the opportunity to share the practice court together every now and then. The prediction is Tsitsipas winning in 4 sets.
