THE PREDICTION
World number 23 Grigor Dimitrov received a bye to the round of 16 of the Sofia Open as the third seed but he probably could have done with a kinder opening round to get his eye in. The 31-year-old lost to Brandon Nakashima in the second round of the US Open last time out to make it seven tournaments on the spin now without winning back-to-back matches and this is no gimme against in-form Ilya Ivashka, The world number 71 overcame Mikael Ymer in three sets on Monday in keeping with the level that saw him take Jannik Sinner all the way to five sets in the round of 16 at the US Open, where he also stunned the likes of Lorenzo Musetti and Hubert Hurkacz. The pair have met twice before, both last season, with Dimitrov taking their first on clay and Ivashka levelling things on a hardcourt at the Citi Open. Dimitrov is always capable of suddenly rediscovering his sometimes world-beating tennis but Ivashka’s current form is more dependable than the Bulgarian. Back Ivashka to win outright here, or at least a set inside an accumulator.
