THE PREDICTION
The seventh career meeting between Grigor Dimitrov and Pablo Carreno Busta should be an entertaining watch between two players well capable of going through the motions in a five-set match. Pablo Carreno Busta won the only Grand Slam meeting between the pair before now with a straight-sets victory at the 2017 Roland-Garros but both players are different versions of themselves in 2021 and this could go the distance. Both can switch off at times over the mental marathon of five sets and that should see both players take a set here before someone scrapes through. On the face of it, PCB should be the one to reach the round of 16 here but it could be worth just opting for sets apiece in this one as the result could really go either way.
