THE PREDICTION
This should be an enthralling modern instalment of a classic match-up between two former world number threes in Stan Wawrinka and Grigor Dimitrov. 38-year-old Wawrinka leads their head-to-head 7-5 as things stand but Dimitrov lead 4-2 up until his peak season in 2017, with Wawrinka winning five of the last six encounters. The pair share a 2-2 record on clay but conditions certainly look to favour the Swiss in this 13th battle after his impressive straight-sets result over Ilya Ivashka on Wednesday. 31-year-old Dimitrov has struggled to impose himself on clay tournaments so far this season but the Bulgarian should never be underestimated on any surface as one of the most natural, if totally inconsistent, players on tour this past decade. It has been a pretty average season by the world number 33’s standards so far whilst Wawrinka has impressed throughout, with his age seemingly getting in the way more than his ability right now. Three sets seem likely but back Wawrinka to earn at least one of them here to leave the victor up to chance.
