Nole had a very tricky draw to play back to back Dimitrov and possibly Wawrinka in the first two matches in Madrid. OK, he is the strongest player around at the moment… but still… that’s not easy.
Djokovic has already played twice with Grigor to beat him in straight sets in both occasions. The last one was in Indian Wells this year when Nole had to overcome a tough first set to then cruise in the second and win 7-6 (4) 6-1.
Nole about Dimitrov
“He has the capacity to play in a very, very high level because he’s very talented. He’s an all round player and he showed it. With his style of the game, you think that he can play his best on the hard courts and the faster courts, but he showed in Monte-Carlo when he pushed Nadal to three sets, he can play equally well on clay.
“There is an altitude here of 500 / 600 meters, which helps the servers and more aggressive players. The ball travels through the air faster, so that can make Dimitrov very dangerous on this surface.” said Djokovic.
A match to watch…
