Carlos Alcaraz vs Grigor Dimitrov – Match Predictions

Over 21.5 Games

Alcaraz’s switch from clay to grass saw him overcome Arthur Rinderknech in three sets. The match lasted 157 minutes ad saw 35 games. His next outings against Jiri Lehecka was more swift and concluded in 17 games. Dimitrov is a different beast to his previous rivals and has experience at the top, while also boasting grass-court pedigree. He is on a four-match winning streak and will not roll over like Lehecka. Based on this, we expect a long duel, one that sees over 21.5 Games and probably a tiebreaker to separate them.

2-0 to Carlos Alcaraz

It is difficult to root against Alcaraz and we are not making this mistake, especially given the knowledge of his previous meetings with the Bulgarian ace. This is the third meeting between Alcaraz and Dimitrov with the former triumphing on both occasions in straight sets. As they square off on the centre court of the Queen’s Club we expect a similar outing. Dimitrov has reached the quarter-finals after scraping from the qualifiers, fatigue will surely have crept up. Add to the mix Alcaraz’s brilliance and confidence is boosted in the 2-0 result for the Spaniard.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Grigor Dimitrov Preview

Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in the Queen’s Club Championships.

Carlos Alcaraz

Despite a successful clay court season where he defended his Barcelona and Madrid Open titles, Alcaraz turns his attention to the grass swing with a burning desire. Defeat in the French Open revealed he still has a long way to develop physically and he would be intent of putting that heartache behind him. He has made little work of his rivals at the Queen’s Club and will fancy his chances against Dimitrov to live up to his first-seed billing.

Grigor Dimitrov

With the new crop of players taking centre stage, Dimitrov finds himself at a different trajectory of his career. At 32, the end is nearer than the beginning and he has a renewed fire in his belly with his injury woes behind him. He made it to the fourth round of the French Open and has not skipped a beat in his transition to the grass with straight sets victories in each of his four matches on the green surface.
