Resurgent Dimitrov Downs Bublik
He had come into the tournament in woeful form, having won just two of his last nine matches. But with two wins from two matches in Cincy, it seems Dimitrov is back in his elements.
On Wednesday, the Bulgarian defeated Alexander Bublik in straight sets to move into the third round. Converting three of nine break points and winning 84% first serve points, the World No. 21 beat the Kazakh 6-3, 7-5 in an hour and 24 minutes.
The win improved the former World No. 3 to 13-12 this season. He had begun well by reaching quarterfinals of the first three events that he featured in, which included the Australian Open, but injuries and loss of form took the momentum away from his season.
A winner in Cincinnati in 2017, Dimitrov began this year’s campaign by knocking out 13th seed Bautista Agut in the first round on Tuesday. Serving 16 aces, he beat the Spaniard 6-3, 6-4.
Medvedev v Dimitrov Prediction and Tip
Medvedev will be wary of a resurgent Dimitrov, but the World No. 2 is in such great form that he should come out unscathed.
