Command Analysis

Grigor Dimitrov

Grigor Dimitrov is full of surprises. He had tough opponents in the first two matches at the current tournament, but the Bulgarian tennis player got two confident victories without dropping a set. First, he ousted Aslan Karatsev, then defeated Lazlo Djere. Dimitrov's best Australian Open result is the 2017 semifinals.

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic is worried about his hamstring and asked for medical attention several times during his second-round match against Enzo Couacaud (6-1, 6-7, 6-2, 6-0). The Serbian star managed to overcome the French player in four sets. In the first match of the current tournament, Djokovic outplayed Roberto Carballes Baena (6-3, 6-4, 6-0).
