Holger Rune vs Grigor Dimitrov – match predictions

As these players battle it out for a place in the China Open quarter-final, these are our predictions and tips for this match

Grigor Dimitrov to win @ 1/1 (2.00)

To be fair, Grigor Dimitrov came out on top the only other time these players met, at the Wimbledon Championships a couple of months ago. However, the Danish player hasn’t particularly enjoyed his best form in recent months; he suffered nine losses in his last 10 matches across singles and doubles. Although Grigor Dimitrov has had his fair share of struggles lately, he has fared relatively better than today’s opponent, with three wins in his last four matches. Considering Holger Rune’s recent shortcomings, we are leaning towards Dimitrov for the victory.

Over 22.5 total games @ 17/20 (1.85)

Lastly, let’s take a look at the over/under games market. We’ve already established that these players met once in the past. Interestingly, that match featured two tiebreaks, and it went comfortably above the projected total. That said, while the 22.5 games line seems a little high, we believe that this match will end in maximum sets, going over 22 games.

Holger Rune vs Grigor Dimitrov odds

At 4/5 (1.80), Holger Rune is the favourite to win this match with a 55 percent probability. On the other hand, the bookies give Grigor Dimitrov a 45 percent chance to win this match.

Grigor Dimitrov

After surrendering the first set, Grigor Dimitrov had to come from behind in order to beat Mackenzie McDonald in the previous round. He has now won three of his last four matches. The Bulgarian will be eyeing a place in the China Open quarter-final as he faces Holger Rune this weekend.
