Here comes the tough QF pick again: do I play it safe and ultimately reach the final with NPA, or do I make a risky choice here and aim for the title?

Title

Title

I would agree as well. But so many are still left in this tournament, if I bust here I lose a lot of ground.

Ah **** it

Very tough match for Goffin because Dimitrov leads the H2H 6-1 but:

They never played on clay before

Goffin won his 2 matches in straight sets against Tsitsipas and Bautista Agut.

Dimitrov won his 2 matches in 3 sets, both Herbert and Kohlschreiber had a good chance to win.

Goffin is better and more consistent than Dimitrov on clay.

They did play three times on clay in 2010 with Dimitrov winning each time in the Geneva Challenger SF and two Futures matches in Germany. It's probably when Gogo became Grigor's pigeon.

My first inclination was to go with Joffrey , and it makes total sense, he's probably the better clay-courter. Then I talked myself out of it. Idk, we'll see, should be a good match. Also, I noticed they team up in doubles and play later on, so that's an interesting dynamic.

Gogo might be wise to wear a helmet when Grigorious is serving.

Crucial match for the race standings, one of us will have a solid chance of taking a big lead after MC.

Goffin just needs to think that he is playing against Berdych.

Pretty important
My lead before this tournament was 225, so if Dimitrov wins it'll be at least 345 (maybe more). If Goffin wins, you narrow the gap to 105, and if you make the Final you would hold a 95 pt lead - so a win would be needed to cement a sizeable lead of 495. Looks doable!

Dimitrov takes out Goff, through to the semis after a very important SDL pick.
