Next vs. Murray
Dimitrov will play Andy Murray in the quarters. Head to head is 3-1 for Andy, but Grigor has won the last one. The Scott may still have an edge, but it’s time for the Bulgarian to step up.
Murray about Dimitrov: He is getting into his prime
The defending champion knows that it will be a tough match “Now he’s starting to come into his prime. He’s won a lot of matches this year. He’s a tough player. Will be a hard match for me. It’s a big opportunity for him, as well, playing on the Centre Court at Wimbledon for the first time. It’s a great opportunity for him. Hopefully we can play a good match.”
