No doubt The Stickman will win, to then be trounced in the following round. His shoulders will be absolutely bulging tomorrow, as they aggressively tilt from side to side as he struts around in between points as he smugly witnesses a self-demolition job predictably administered by Denis Sharapova.

Impulsive youngster not patient enough for point construction game on clay. Dimi in 2.

Oh no... shankovalov against nadal on Clay. I can smell the bakery products from 1000 miles away.
not looking past dimitrov though. His patient slicenotting game could frustrate Denis and cause his implosion

I would prefer Denis but I think Grigor will win thanks to his good defensive game.

It's hard to judge Shapo's form. He has almost been grinding it out recently. Very few one-two punches. Few aces and flashy winners. And today he blew some important obvious winners that were laid up after good point construction. But he prevailed. It's like he's trying to construct a clay game, against his natural instincts. What's clear is that he can patiently hang with anyone in baseline rallies and his net game is now improving.
Dimitrov is in form and on a roll.
I still think Denis in 3. Given that his 1st serve is normal (+60%).

Shapovalov will wnter Top 10 if he wins this match. Big stakes for him.

True, but I don't think that is on his mind tbh. He is basically up there already and only injury can stop that from happening sooner or later. I think the pressure is more on Dimitrov.

Yeah, maybe he can also winter in Top 10, so spend it in the off-season if he can keep this level up...

A match against Nadal
Edit: I now see the "winter" reference.

How is Dimitrov inform with an average of 60 unforced errors in a bo3 match? Some of you guys seem to be totally clueless.
Any of these 2 will be ripped appart by the clay warrior.
And lets face it, any true tennis fan wants to see another Djodal encounter.
Nadal will dismantle any of these 2 mugs

I know. Many keep saying this though it ceased to be the case quite awhile ago.
