Dimitrov/R.B.A. discussion

[Bet10Heinekens]

I leaning with R.B.A., he's in great form and playing some of the best tennis of his life.

R.B.A. leads the H2H 2-1 with the most recent win on hard courts in 2013 Beijing 6-4, 6-2.

lets break it down fellas, I'm not a tennis expert when it comes to style of play(still learning).

Serve- Dimitrov has the bigger and stronger serve, advantage Dimi

Return- R.B.A., seen him return some of Isner monster serve in Auckland and he was able to handle Del Po serve also.

Forehand- R.B.A., steady as a rock, rarely make a mistake with that shot

Backhand- Dimitrov,

Intangibles- R.B.A., he's just a hard nose Spanish grinder, all the pressure on Dimitrov to live up to expectation.



Think match will go 4 sets also

RBA does look good @ +160

Really tough one to call. Dimitrov is definitelly more talented out of these two and I personaly don't give much credit to Bautista, for beating Paire, because Paire is a headcase. But still, he can grind it out and forces his opponent to work really hard for every point. Will that be enough for win here? I don't think so. But we might see a close one. Dimitrov in 5 sets is my prediction.

Dimitrov can be a head case at times, just like Paire...maybe he has matured this year

Nowhere near Paire...

I think it all comes down to how Dimitov serves. When the 1st serve goes in he wins around 85% of the points. He has been inconsistent with the serve on a set by set basis in his past matches. A low 1st service set is where I think Bautista will pick up a set.

I think the right play is the over.

boys, Dimitrov has this in 4 sets max possibly 3 sets

Best set up for Dimitrov to break into the quarters. He's playing someone that isn't going to be in his head like Del Potro could potentially have been. Agut's game is still hard to read. I didn't see all of the Del Potro match where he played pretty well. I think a one armed, one legged chimp on life support could have worked over Paire last round.

Roger Rasheed may be the new Ivan Lendl for the year depending on how Dimitrov continues. He's paying dividends early.
