THE PREDICTION
World number 29 Alex de Minaur has faced a useful array of challengers this week at the European Open in veterans Richard Gasquet, Feliciano Lopez and plucky qualifier Marcos Giron that should put him in good stead for whatever Grigor Dimitrov throws his way. In fact, this match will be very interesting because the Bulgarian has reached the semi-finals here in exactly the opposite fashion, playing just one match so far on Wednesday, having received a bye to the round of 16, and then defaulting to today’s match after Milos Raonic pulled out of the quarters. It will be match-practice versus rest when the two come to court and that adds extra factors to a predictable result. The only previous time the two have faced each other Grigor Dimitrov beat the Australian in straight-sets at the 2019 US Open and that could be the only clue here for an outcome. If Dimitrov has stayed focused this campaign, despite playing just one match against Pablo Andujar, he could be in good shape to come through this match in what will likely go to a decider.
