Grigor Dimitrov vs Daniel Evans – Match Predictions
Contents
Over 20.5 Games
Evans’ 2-0 victory over Frances Tiafoe came in 22 games. On the other hand, Dimitrov’s last win in Citi Open came with a similar scoreline but required 19 games. As they lock horns for a place in the final, it will be a hard-fought battle. A tiebreaker can be expected, which will surely extend the number of games played. In their H2H encounters, even when a deciding set was not needed in Chengdu, there were 24 games played to find a victor and we believe a similar outcome is on the cards this time around.
2-0 to Grigor Dimitrov vs Daniel Evans
Three of the six matches between Dimitrov and Evans have been three-setters. With the Bulgarian ace getting extra time off to rest after Ugo Humbert’s withdrawal, he has the upper hand in this meeting. He has also won four of these six meetings and will fancy his chances. With Evans earning gruelling victories over Tiafoe and Shevchenko, his tank will surely be drained. Given the time allowed to rest and Dimitrov’s recent form, we are backing him to claim a straight-sets victory.
Grigor Dimitrov vs Daniel Evans Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in the Citi Open.
Grigor Dimitrov
The Bulgarian ace is no spring chicken and would have welcomed the extra time off after Humbert’s withdrawal from the quarter-final stage. Prior to that, McDonald did put up a fight in the second round but once the first set tiebreaker finished in his favour, it was one-way traffic. It seems that Dimitrov has finally put behind his injury struggles and reached the levels that many in the tennis world have gotten used to expect from him. He faced a familiar foe in Evans, one whom he has gotten the better of regularly but has not butt heads since October 2022.
Daniel Evans
After less than spectacular last three months, Evans finally got the ball rolling in Washington. The British number 2’s only struggles came in the second round against Barrere, who required three sets to get past him. Since then, there have been routine victories over Shevchenko and Tiafoe, tough battles as expected but finished in the allotted sets. He will fancy his chances to get to the finals of the Citi Open and its financial rewards but has one final duel to overcome.
Grigor Dimitrov vs Daniel Evans Head to Head
Across the careers, Dimitrov and Evans have played against each other six times with the Bulgarian ace leading 4-2. While they are three years removed from their last meeting, it was the British ace who triumphed in their last meeting in Vienna.
