Our Grigor Dimitrov vs Alexei Popyrin Prediction
The Difference Maker: Dimitrov enters the main tournament with some momentum after winning three consecutive matches. On the other hand, Popyrin might still be licking his wounds after suffering a loss to Hugo Gaston 2-5 in the Quebec Challenger.
What to Expect: Popyrin should provide a testy opening-round challenge for Dimitrov. However, it seems the Bulgarian is steadily regaining his old form following an unexpected deep run at Wimbledon and a dominant performance in the qualification stage of the US Open.
Again, Popyrin is no pushover, but Dimitrov should come out on top of this match.
Fearless Forecast: Grigor Dimitrov 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4
