We have an interesting matchup here today with a savvy veteran up against one of tennis' promising young stars. Baghdatis puts his strong 30-18 grass record on the line against Dimitrov's limited experience on grass. The linesmakers have adjusted this well and bettors continue to pound Baghdatis lowering the line from -185 to -160 currently. However, if you take a deeper look into the match, I believe the young Dimitrov will overpower Baggy today.
Make no mistake, Baghdatis loves the grass surface and has been quite successful with the 30-18 record. However, this record is a bit skewed as Baggy has been in terrible form recently. He looked terrible on grass recently against Darcis at Eastbourne and also got trumped by Rosol at the Queen's Club last month.
I've been monitoring Dimitrov's play quite closely the last few months. We scored a few big wins on him earlier this month at Queen's Club capping it off with a strong play on him vs Anderson. Here's why Dimitrov will be victorious today. He was matched up with Anderson yesterday and once again scored a victory against the solid big boom server. It's a very hefty task to be able to beat Anderson back to back. Along with Dimitrov's superb return game against big boom servers, he himself has upped his serve game. His serve has become a powerful weapon here on grass. Throughout a long grueling match, I dont believe Baghdatis can equal the task. Baggy may be able to return it for two sets but age will catch up to him. I believe the young Dimitrov will overpower him in the latter sets of this match.

Best of Luck!
