The tennis players have met twice this season. Tsitsipas won both matches in two sets. We expect Tsitsipas to win this match with confidence.
Both of their head-to-head encounters this year ended in two sets. This matchup will follow a similar pattern. Tsitsipas is in great form and is likely to upset Dimitrov again in the upcoming encounter in two sets.
Dimitrov returned to the top 20 at the beginning of May. This was mainly due to very successful performance in Monte Carlo. At the Monte Carlo Masters, the Bulgarian reached the semi-finals.
Grigor won the games against Nikoloz Basilashvili (6-3, 2-0), Dusan Lajovic (4-6, 6-3, 6-2), Casper Ruud (6-3, 7-5) and Hubert Hurkacz (4-6, 6-3, 7-6). The former world #3 lost to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (4-6, 6-7, 3-6) in the 1/2 finals.

Dimitrov also won two matches at the Madrid Masters in early May. In the second round, he unexpectedly beat Diego Schwartzman (6-0, 6-3) very easily.
In Rome, Dimitrov started with a victory over Brandon Nakashima (6-3, 6-4).
Stefanos Tsitsipas:
Tsitsipas, meanwhile, was one step away from a decisive match in Madrid last week. The Greek lost in the semi-finals to Alexander Zverev (4-6, 6-3, 2-6).
It is likely that Stefanos was more upset that he lost to a rival who had made some very unkind remarks about him.

However, Tsitsipas managed to beat Zverev (6-4, 6-2) in Monte Carlo and became the champion.
In Barcelona, though, Stefanos lost his quarter-final game to Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (4-6, 7-5, 2-6). The 19-year-old Spaniard is one of Tsitsipas’ most uncomfortable opponents, not winning a single match.
Overall, Tsitsipas is certainly doing very well on the clay part of the season.
