Dimitrov is comfortable on the courts in Vienna, as evidenced by his recent convincing win over Rublev in two sets. Grigor is unlikely to want to rest on his laurels, so we expect to see him in the semi-finals. Especially as he has already beaten Giron this season.
The two tennis players met at Roland Garros this season. In that match Dimitrov confidently defeated Giron, giving him only three games. We believe that the upcoming match will also end with a confident victory of Grigor.
Dimitrov has created one of the biggest sensations at the Vienna Open. He stopped Andrey Rublev (6-3, 6-4) on Thursday.
Most surprisingly, Andrey essentially capitulated. Grigor was enough in two sets to beat Rublev.
Remarkably, between Roland Garros and the tournament in Vienna, Dimitrov lost nine of his 13 matches. Rublev, too, was apparently confident that he would have no problems playing the former world #3.
In the end, Dimitrov played arguably his best match of the season, managing to win 93% of points on his first serve.
Dimitrov has won four times in the previous six quarter-finals.
Giron also managed to surprise. He defeated Cameron Norrie (6-3, 6-4) in the second round.
Cameron, like Andrey, seemed confident that he would have no problems at this stage, but things turned out quite differently. Marcos seized on the mistakes of the world #13 and converted all three break points.
In the first match, Giron defeated Tallon Griekspoor (6-4, 6-2) in two sets.
It is also worth noting that Giron reached the final in San Diego at the end of September. He lost to Brandon Nakashima (4-6, 4-6) in the deciding match.
Giron has lost six of his previous nine meetings against the top 50.
