Command Analysis

Grigor Dimitrov

Dimitrov has not taken to the court in an official match since Wimbledon. At the London major, we recall, Grigor reached the fourth round, but was unable to complete the match against Daniil Medvedev due to a leg injury. On open hard courts, the Bulgarian has 14 wins and three losses this season. Earlier this year, Dimitrov won the title in Brisbane on this surface, we recall.

Rinky Hijikata

Hijikata broke Taro Daniel's resistance in the first round of the tournament in Montreal (6-1, 7-5). Rinki made two aces in the match against the Japanese, converted six break points and lost two games on his serve. For the Australian, this was the 12th victory on open hard this season with 12 losses. It is worth noting that Hijikata played twice in the quarterfinals on hard this year - in Brisbane and Delray Beach.
