[TheNachoMan]

Dimitrov should win.

Zverev in 4

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Think Zverev wins this. 4 sets again. Dimi been playing very well though but these are usually the games he loses when he plays the better/bigger match players. Dimi has shot but not sure about his mentality under pressure.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Dimitrov straight sets. Zverev has been straight up garbage here

 

[Kralingen]

The potential choking in this one. My oh my. So many swings. Especially if it’s a night match, what a spectacle.

 

[Hitman]

Having watched both, I think Dimitrov takes this unless he completely goes off the boil. The heavier ball is actually playing into his hands, and Zverev is very up down. Z has the higher peak, but he has big lows also, Dimi has the game to expose that.

 

[Walrus Gumball]

Rooting for Z, coming back from that terrible injury

 

[top10]

Grisho vs Sacha - the most talented guys from their respective generations.
I think Grigor takes it in 5 with 2 tiebreaks.

 

[Jonesy]

I want to see Z go deep to show the power of superation.

 

[duaneeo]

I think the 1st-generation NextGen will beat 2nd-generation NextGen.

 

[Hood_Man]

Dimitrov has looked refreshingly focused these past few rounds so I'm going with him in 5.

I'm prepared for disappointment.

 

[BeatlesFan]

I have never liked Dimitrov and can't recall ever rooting for him except once during the 2017 AO semi vs. Rafa. But I will be rooting for him like a fanatic in order to deny Zedrot getting to the QF. His quarter is so weak that beating Dimitrov virtually assures him a place in the semis. And I don't trust Rune/Ruud/Jarry keeping Zedrot away from the final. Horrible days ahead possibly for #ABZ.

Rune v Zverev will be a rough one for you in the semis, should it happen. LOL

Money on Franc

 

[ChaelAZ]

I'll take Dimi.

Dimitrov couldn't take advantage in MC or Barcelona. In Rome he met a good Djokovic but that match proves nothing. Only Madrid loss is somewhat considerable. Dimitrov probably wouldn't even beat Tiafoe today.

 

[NeutralFan]

If Z plays freely then Dimi has no chance.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

I want Grigor to win, I really, really do!

In Dimitrov #ABZ trust.

 

[SteffiGoat]

The match has been scheduled for the night session at PC. This should suit Zverev. This will be his third consecutive night session match at PC this RG.

 

[DSH]

Zverev will be off the chains, then.

 

[MeatTornado]

The tour isn't ready for Crocodile Dimi

 

[sometennisdot]

Dimitrov, please

 

[Pablo1989]

Zverev in 4 tight sets. 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 or something like that.

 

[Benf15harp]

This is laughable. Big Z will absolutely cruise through.

 

[NeutralFan]

Z will win easily.

 

[80s New Wave]

This has the potential to be an epic choke fest, hopefully both guys can keep their nerves together. If they do then Zverev should win, maybe even easily but who knows with these 2.

 

[Razer]

Alexander to beat Grigor

 

[Benf15harp]

Chainz vs Watch

 

[Kralingen]

This one should be a blast.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

This is the pick of the R4 matches for me, IF both players play well. Zverev had such great form last year before the injury, world be somehow fitting if he found his game again on PC. But he's not convinced me yet so far. I've always liked Dimitrov, but he has only rarely been able to sustain a high level of play - and his biggest successes didn't come on clay.

It's probably more interesting for the tournament if Zed goes through so I'll go with him in 4.

 

[Rattie]

Zverev easily!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Goldie Chainz will take this one!

 

[SteffiGoat]

Match has not yet started? Court has been free for a while now

 

[NeutralFan]

Hoping for a one sided match and Z win. I am so excited .

 

[ibbi]

I will be surprised if Grigor can compete with Zverev in these night conditions. I could see him somehow snatching the first and then dying in the night as it gets colder and slower and deader, but hard to imagine he can come out on top.

 

[Musterrific]

Dimitrov has looked really solid so far, so he's well overdue to lay a totally random egg.

 

[RF-18]

Dimitrov is listed as 1.91 tall?

What

 

[Nostradamus]

why are they scheduling these beatdown boring matches at Prime time night ??

 

[nolefam_2024]

Dimitrov is listed as 1.91 tall?

What

He is taller than Thiem but probably similar height as Nole.

 

[SteffiGoat]

Dimitrov Win-Loss record at RG 17-12
Zverev Win-Loss record at RG 26-7

Surprised that Dimitrov has so few wins in 12 years of being at RG

 

[nolefam_2024]

Don't you remember those R1 losses from Dimitrov when he was touted as baby fed.

 

[SteffiGoat]

Dimitrov starts with a DF. Nice!

 

[Snafu23]

6th time's the charm for Grigor!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Goldie breaks already!

 

[SteffiGoat]

Awful service game by Dimitrov

 

[onyxrose81]

Auspicious start for Dmitrov. Zverev breaks for 1-0 thanks to DFs galore.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Come on Sascha. Send Dimitrov back to bulgaria.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Dimitrov with a shaky start and a bunch of missed serves - broken easily.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Dimitrov has 3 top 10 wins at GS. Vs Murray in Wimby 2014, vs maybe injured Roger in USO19 and vs totally declined Thiem in AO21.

Zverev has 1 top 10 win at GS.
