On Wednesday, during thelate evening for those in the US, there's more action coming our way from the ATP event taking place in Brisbane, Australia. Belgium's Raphael Collignon is up against Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, who has previously won this tournament. Having enjoyed himself in Brisbane before, Dimitrov looked determined to go deep when beating Spaniard Pablo Carreno-Busta in straight sets during the first round. Off the back of that win, the man who won this tournament in 2024, should fancy himself to see off another lower-ranked player.
Collignon is far from a poor player and he's seemingly improving, beating Denis Shapovalov (in straight sets) during the first round. That win means that he warrants respect here, but he'll likely need to shift through the gears to get the better of a former Brisbane champion, and I'm not quite convinced that he's ready to do that.

Our Raphael Collignon vs Grigor Dimitrov Prediction
Of course, betting at odds of -185 is not for everyone, but for my money, this is still a value price. Grigor Dimitrov could easily be a stronger favorite, so much so that -185 does not accurately reflect this chance of success.
We know that the Bulgarian player loves the courts in Brisbane, enjoying no shortage of success at this tournament. His relatively recent hard-court record against lower-ranked player is also impossible to ignore.
