Grigor DIMITROV(BUL)[3] vs Rajeev RAM(USA)[WC]
Paul-Henri MATHIEU(FRA) vs Matthew EBDEN(AUS)[13]

The first match in Cincy will begin around 14:30 local time(20:30 CET)I guess.
Last two stops before US open, all I wish is a healthy Grigor:)

Great R1 draw, and probably the most attractive R1 match in every way :p

I hope the organisers see how potentially entertaining this match could be and give it a show court...

Fingers crossed for Grisho's health also, would be great to cap the last slam of the season without an injury or illness.

USOpen, here we go!

He's going to have to turn this match around soon. I found these tweets about the match.

Grigor really bothered by his foot. It's a little worrisome

@sapphireswell @gandaines ok I will but enjoying Grigor for the moment. He is killing it w some great passing shots, volleys & drop shots

Sandy ‏@nycsandygirl
Awesome drop shot from Grigor to get AD. It almost went back over the net. Grigor had a big smile on his face. Cute.

24-30 Sep - Thailand Open (he is in the main draw)
01-07 Oct - Rakuten Japan Open Tennis Championships (he needs 3 players to withdraw to get in the main draw)
08-14 Oct - Shanghai Rolex Masters (he will play qualies here)
15-21 Oct - IF Stockholm Open (he is in the main draw)
22-28 Oct - Swiss Indoors Basel (he needs 6 players to withdraw to get in the main draw)

Looks like Grigor will probably play doubles with Tomic in Bangkok. They are 1 ALT's in the entry list, but they will most probably get in. This will be interesting to see, but maybe they will need to reach higher stage of the tournament to put them on TV court :)

I don't like Patrick coaching Grigor from the start, he doesn't have a successful record with Jeremy, Baggy, or even Laura. These players have been improving in the ranking when they left him. Anyway, I find Serena taking Patrick away from Grigor is a good news. Finding a good new coach takes sometime, so papa Dimitrov may step in, like he does at times. I'll report to you guys as soon as I find out who's he's with in Bangkok. :)

PS. Serena's success (with Patrick) is overrated. She can win Slams with anybody when she puts her focus on training. Patrick just enjoys free publicity.

Yes, he is staying with Serena for the free publicity - to look like he is the reason she is playing really well right now. For me Mouratoglou is only concerned about his business and does whatever it takes to advertise his academy. I remember that I read an interview with Yanina Wickmayer and she said that she left the academy, because Patrick was coaching Grigor for most of the time ... looks like the same thing is happening now - looks like he is only concerned about Serena ...

In my opinion everything was going OK when Grigor was with McNamara, but I suspect that Patrick saw that Grigor was going up in the ranking and decided to make the change and to be his coach.
