Dimitrov vs Tiafoe is a really nice match: you have Tiafoe who has just won a tournament and Dimitrov who loves the surface. That is the demand of the people ?
Dimitrov will vary the game for him, backhand slice, change of pace, he serves pretty well, he knows the grass well, and Tiafoe who will make the power speak, try to push Dimitrov back to force him to attempt passing shots one uncomplicated.
For me it's going to be a pretty tight match: on the one hand you shouldn't underestimate Tiafoe's physique who is able to hold on the length in a constant way and we saw it on his first 2 laps with firsts handle very hooked and behind it unrolled. Which means that this start to the match is going to be quite important for both players. I still think that Dimitrov has the weapons to vary his game, to give him low kicks, especially on the forehand side where Tiafoe is forced to bend well and he has a little more trouble on low balls. So the top Dimitrov will have to use his slice well, which he doesn't do all the time so we hope he will think about it! In addition, the quality of his first will be essential to stay in the match and go to a fit and confident Tiafoe.
