My Prediction
Dimitrov in straight sets.Well butter my biscuits and call it a Christmas miracle. We're facing another Dimitrov and Nishioka showdown, talk about a Monday night special. When we last saw this dynamic duo, Dimitrov added a notch on his belt with a handy 2-love victory. I mean, Nishioka could hardly score a point if Dimitrov's racket was on fire.
Though our good friend Nishioka hasn't had a stellar run of late, his performances hint at a man who'd lose a foot race against a glacier. He's riding a wave of defeats that would make any Titanic survivor shudder. Most recent being the spanking he received from Hanfmann, who served him two love sets on a silver platter called humiliation.
Onto Dimitrov, the man of the hour, the Bulgarian blaster. He's been ferreting around the circuit quite delightfully, I must say. He's had a bit of a patchy run recently, took a few hits, but he bounced back like a tennis ball against a brick wall. His tournament seed of 19 speaks volumes louder than this humble commentator's rants.
Now, would I bet my friend's farm on Nishioka? You bet I wouldn't. The man's got fight, but this isn't a Rocky movie and Dimitrov isn't a Russian villain. Given their past encounters and current form, we're more likely to see pigs do a synchronized swim than Nishioka trump Dimitrov in Wimbledon.
Albert’s Prediction: Dimitrov in straight sets.
