Grigor Dimitrov and Alexander Bublik will take on each other in the quarter-finals matchup of the 2023 ATP Marseille Open on February 24.
Grigor Dimitrov hasn’t been in good touch lately and has been losing all the recent tournaments he has played in. He will be adamant to make a change in fortune and perform well at the Marseille Open. He couldn’t make it past the first stage mark in most of his last tournaments, losing to Lehecka at the Stockholm Open, and to Ivashka at the Sofia Open. He made it to the semi-finals of the Vienna Open thereby losing to Daniil Medvedev and also made it to the third round of the Australian Open losing to Djokovic. At the recent Rotterdam Open, he made it to the semis beating the likes of de Minaur, Hurkacz, and Karatsev but eventually got knocked out by eventual champion, Medvedev. In the ongoing Marseille Open, he beat Brouwer in the round of 16 stage by 6-3, 6-2.
Alexander Bublik has been in a woeful run for the past few tournaments and questions are being raised about him regarding his approach and style of play. He has not made it out of the first round stage of a single tournament and this Marseille Open must be his turnaround tournament. He lost to Wawrinka at the Rotterdam Open, to Barrere at the Open Sud De France, to Davidovich Fokina at the Australian Open, to Goffin at the ASB Classic, and against Ymer at the Paris Masters all in the opening round. In the ongoing Marseille Open, he beat Krajinovic in the first-round matchup by 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, and Barrere in the round of 16 stage by 6-4, 6-2.
