2023 Roland Garros R16: [28] Grigor Dimitrov vs Alexander Zverev [22]

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

This is frustrating to watch.

 

[The Fedfather]

The crowd are hungry for any small bit of drama to happen lol

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Zverev I feel will get another break here. This been up and down though.

 

[The Fedfather]

Dimitrov redlining on a BP

 

[Hitman]

That should be it.

 

[The Fedfather]

And the DFing. Can't be more up and down than this

 

[abmk]

DF from Dimi on BP perfectly encapsulates the match

 

[Picmun]

Dim DOUBLE FAULT Dimitrov.....

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

there aren't enough facepalm GIFs on the entire interwebs to describe this match.

 

[Spin Diesel]

He just tried to inception the thought „DF“ into Zverev‘s head. Brillant strategy

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Dimi lured us in again.......

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Zverev on to the quarters.

That was horrid from Dimitrov but I expected nothing less.

 

[Hitman]

That was a bad quality match, and Dimi is to blame for it. I was expecting a lot more from him today.

 

[lud]

I hoped Dimitrov not to be mental midget atleast once. Well..

 

[nolefam_2024]

14 winner 50 UE for Dimitrov. Cringing is not sufficient.

Expecting something from Dimitrov is like expecting snow in summer.

It's even worse when you've seen the UEs. In this instance stats not telling the whole story is for the best

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Bulgarian tennis star Grigor Dimitrov admitted he enjoyed being called "Baby Fed" at first but over time he got fed up with being often compared to Roger Federer. “I enjoyed it so much at first. I felt grateful. But over time, I was like, 'Come on, it's getting old.'

Keep producing like today and you will continue being called Baby Fed. The crowds need to start chanting it at the top of their lungs

 

[Krish0608]

Dimitrov is the Davidovich Fokina of the Big 3 era. Talented, but a helpless, hopeless mug.

 

[Spin Diesel]

Expecting something from Dimitrov is like expecting snow in summer.

Depends on the location though

What gets me about this place is that A LOT of people here and A LOT of people still here, predicted multiple slams for Dim.
It was OBVIOUS he was ALWAYS an also ran.

And still people here predict Grigor will win big.

ITS NOT HAPPENING. IT WAS NEVER HAPPENING. AND IT NEVER WILL !

But still people here will cream their shorts over Dim.

Well would have predicted he would have won 1-2 at least. I mean Thiem did and when Dimitrov was on like Thiem he was good.

True. In Dim's case, the location barely makes any difference.

 

[TennisFan3]

Alexander is your finalist for 2023.

I could see him or Ruud making the final. Still leaning on Ruud because he has more clay chops.

 

[TennisFan3]

If I had to wager, I would say Zverev loses to the Ruud/Rune winner in the SF's......maybe four sets. Wouldn't be shocked if he makes the final, though.

Agree 100%. I would lean on Ruud overall to beat Zedzilla and make the final. Rune being half dead in R4 is probably not beating Ruud.
Imagine a Novak vs Ruud final. That would be a doozy.

I'm leaning to Zverev, if he plays his full potential then Ruud gets smoked.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Dimitrov once was out of RG in R1 three times in a row. This mug should have been destroyed. I don't pay attention to him nowadays.

 

[Picmun]

[I Am Finnish]

Z to win it all

 

[tennistiger]

Z to win it all

After last year everyone would like to see this. He deserved it ! Would have been Number One by beating Nadal last year and for sure win the final against Ruud.
