On the evening of Sunday, July 7, Wimbledon will host a 1/8 final of the men’s singles, in which Daniil Medvedev will face Grigor Dimitrov. This will be the 11th head-to-head meeting of professional tennis players. The advantage is on the Russian side – Medvedev has won 7 times, against 3 for Victoria Dimitrov.
Interestingly, tennis players have met only once on grass. And this happened in 2017, as well as in London. Then, in the quarterfinals of a 500 category tournament, the Bulgarian, with the status of the 11th racket in the world, defeated our tennis player (60th position in the ATP ranking) with a score of 6:3, 3:6, 6:3. The next nine fights between Medvedev and Dimitrov took place on hard courts, and the Russian won them seven times.

Medvedev then won a crushing victory in three sets – 7:6, 6:4, 6:3. It is worth noting that tennis players played exactly half of their matches head-to-head at tournaments in the United States. Including the last personal duel already in the current season. It took place in the 1/8 finals of the Masters in Indian Wells. Then, two sets were enough for Medvedev to win – 6:4, 6:4. Dimitrov’s last success dates back to last fall. At the Paris Masters, Grigor won in the second round – 6:3, 6:7, 7:6.
At Wimbledon, the 33-year-old Bulgarian is the world’s 10th racket. During the tournament, Dimitrov defeated Serbian Lajovic (6:3, 6:4, 7:5), Chinese Shang (5:7, 6:7, 6:4, 6:2, 6:4) and French Monfils (6:4). : 3, 6:4, 6:3).
As for 28-year-old Medvedev, the Russian, like his opponent, lost two sets at the tournament, but in different matches. Daniil started with a confident victory over the American Kovacevich (6:3, 6:4, 6:2). And in the next two matches, Medvedev won with a score of 3:1.
