GRIGOR DIMITROV VS ALEJANDRO TABILO PREDICTION

Grigor Dimitrov is coming off a fine US Open run where he reached the quarter-finals and the likeable Bulgarian will relish playing in this year’s Laver Cup. The 33-year-old was forced to retire in that quarter-final clash with Frances Tiafoe but is well-rested and ready to go here.

He meets Alejandro Tabilo who he met earlier this year in Miami and he beat the 27-year-old 6-7 7-6 6-2. He will know the Chilean is no pushover and if anything he has improved since then.

Tabilo is making his debut in this tournament and he will relish this opportunity to play for Captain John McEnroe's six-man team. He also becomes the first Chilean to play in the Laver Cup so that milestone will likely serve to motivate him.

So much depends on how motivated each player is for this one but Dimitrov looked sensational at times at the US Open and we back him to continue that here.
