6th DimiKacz!
And it's shocking how similar their last 5 confrontations are!
Indeed, EACH of the 5 matches they played together came down to a few important points. and EVERY match was won by Dimitrov. It’s still impressive, this scenario repeating itself. It bothers me. As if, by repeating itself, it becomes a general truth that Hubi has internalized. Also interestingly, there were 5 tie-breaks during their match-ups, and Hubi averaged 3 points in each of these tie-breaks. Moreover, 4 times out of 5, it was decisive tie-breaks... We therefore easily understand that Dimitrov is just better at managing these key moments. On the other hand, they have not yet played a Grand Slam match. In this 3 winning sets format, there are more critical moments. Also, we are a little heavy on earth, we must not forget that. Marcos has wanted to “lay” (play against) Hubi since the start of the tournament. I can understand it based on his first and second matches, but less so in the 3rd. Against a Shapo who was a little grumpy about the weather conditions, Hubi played his two biggest trump cards: a big serve and an ability to cover the court well and play one more shot. So I'm not sure that we should try to find a winner here (Dimitrov must surely be a little low with past stats), but rather a value rating going in the direction of a numerically close match...
