F. Tiafoe vs G. Dimitrov one more great match of the 1/8 – Finals at Australian Open Grand Slam Tournament taking place in Australia. Both talented players will play in a serious confrontation. Review our thoughts on this match here below.

Francis Tiafoe
Francis Tiafoe is a very talented young player with big potential. During this tournament, he faces lots of challenges and has already won three matches against great players. Firstly, American won against Indian P. Gunneswaran in straight 3 sets with one tie break. He saved 4 of 6 break points and made 5. He is a strong player with a good serve, however, at this match, he made only 7 and 3 double faults. Secondly, he met F. Anderson, a very experienced player with a great serve and interesting style of play. Tiafoe won in 4 sets by making a comeback. At this match he made 10 aces and only 2 double faults, most interesting that he had 14 break points, however, Anderson saved 10 of them. Thirdly, Tiafoe played hard match against skilled Italian A. Seppi. Francis defeated Andrea in 5 sets match 6:7/6:3/4:6/6:4/6:3. This time American did already 16 aces and 5 double faults. This match was long and very tough, so he needs to take a rest for preparing to another match at 1/8 Final of Australian Open Grand Slam Tournament. Finally, F. Tiafoe will give a great fight for strong G. Dimitrov and we hope he will show all the potential that he has in his pocket.

Grigor Dimitrov
Grigor Dimitrov is a very strong and skilled player. He can play in different ways because he adapts to the court and his opponent very well. Best career year was 2017 as he stood at 3rd position of ATP Ratings. Last year Dimitrov played in the Final of Rotterdam and lost to R. Federer. Bulgarian reached two semi-finals and one of these was at Monte Carlo Master where he was knocked out by R. Nadal. In total, he had a great season with ups and downs. This year he already played in the quarter-final of Brisbane ATP tournament where lost in two sets against K. Nishikori, however, at Australian Open he faced not so strong players as Japanese. At first round he won against legend J. Tipsarevic in 4 sets, then with the same result defeated P. Cuevas on not most likely ground for him, and finally, he won in straight sets against Italian T. Fabbiano.

H2H
These players met two times last season, where most lucky was G. Dimitrov, however F. Tiafoe gained lots of experience and confidence so he could give a fight to Bulgarian this time.

Both players have an interesting style of game, so the match will be very unpredictable. All facts show that this time players should give us an incredible and tight game with many sets.
 
Grigor is the favorite. Just want to see a good match. Is it true that Agassi coaches Gregor but he also let tiafoe train in Vegas with him
 
Francis told me himself, he puts little silicone in the handle nothing more. It shows, and it will come back to haunt him in this match against Dimitrov and his 'club'
 
And your comment is an expert one who describe Tiafoe as some Tennis Maestro ;)

i am no expert. peace man. but it would be nice if I once in my life heard someone say - I was wrong - Tiafoe is great. Maybe you will do it.. Watch the match and make a conclusion :)
 
man i dont know if i will watch so much highlights --- watching live is so much better - but if i only had the time :D
 
Imagine Tiafoe taking out rafaello!!

Yea me neither

man. im such a big Nadal fan. maybe the greatest. But I would not cry if Tiafoe would take him out. :D If someone must take RAFA out let this be Tiafoe! :) lets not be greedy, Nadal already has enough slams.


Imagine Tiafoe would win AO???:)

I'm not against women's tennis but the way it's forced on people. i want to see Dmitrov tennis but they're showing woman's tennis on 2 channel. ATP should seriously consider organising its slams seperately .

That quality of the matches are not even comparable either

Barty is pulling the classic choke and missed shots everywhere

The other match is a highlight reel

Look i don't like Milfhunter either but it baffles me the way he struggles at slams even against average players.I hope Tiafoe improves , he's still too young.

In my country they were showing woman's double and Sharapova match , now Sharapova match is on both channel.

but I tell you - he has improved through the years. he is a different man now

there is room for improvement throughout the career but what he is showing here is high level play
