Grigor Dimitrov will meet Alexander Bublik in the Quarter-Finals of the 2023 Marseille Open. The match will be played on Friday February 24th, 2023.
Grigor Dimitrov is the fourth seed here at the 2023 Marseille Open and is ranked 25th on the ATP Tour. The Bulgarian is a seasoned veteran of the tour and has been incredibly consistent throughout his career. After a strong showing in Rotterdam where he reached the Semi-Finals before losing to eventual champion Daniil Medvedev. He continued that form with a Round of 16 win over Gijs Brouwer, serving 9 aces and winning 92% of his first serve points. He will need to serve similarly well if he is to advance here against the dangerous Alexander Bublik.
Alexander Bublik is unseeded here at the Marseille Open and is ranked 25 spots behind his opponent Grigor Dimitrov at #50. The Kazakh is more talented than his ranking suggests but tends to be very inconsistent at times. Capable of beating anyone on his day, especially on this surface, he has a strong chance here if he is able to focus and serve well. Armed with a strong all-around game and a big serve, he defeat Filip Krajinovic and Gregoire Barrere to reach this stage but will face his biggest test in the form of the fourth seeded Dimitrov.
This match comes down to Alexander Bublik, and how focused he is on the day. He is capable of winning for sure, but he is equally as likely to lose focus and play poorly. The smart money is on the unflappable Grigor Dimitrov, one of the most solid and mentally strongest players on the tour. It will likely be a very close encounter and could even go three sets, but back the Bulgarian to win here and move on to the Semis here at the 2023 Marseille Open.
