Grigor Dimitrov: Experience and challenge

Grigor Dimitrov, who reached the Wimbledon semifinals in 2014 and was third in the ATP rankings in 2017, has struggled with injuries this season. After a withdrawal in the first round match of the French Open against Ethan Quinn, he has so far played his way into the third round at Wimbledon with victories over Yoshihito Nishioka and Corentin Moutet. Although he is working his way up, he stood out before his match against Ofner with seven double faults in the second round.

The entire tournament category has a significant prize money of 53.55 million pounds, which shows the high importance and expectations placed on the players. In the betting odds, Dimitrov is seen as a slight favorite given his experience and ranking. Predictions suggest he could win in four sets.
