The third stage match of Wimbledon 2023 between Grigor Dimitrov and Holger Rune will take place on July 10.
Grigor Dimitrov has been a dominant force at Wimbledon, winning all three matches in straight sets and not conceding more than four games in any set. Despite his success, his lack of recent triumphs in big events keeps him somewhat overlooked. Dimitrov has proven himself on grass, winning the Boys’ Wimbledon title in 2008 and reaching the semifinals in 2014, where he pushed Novak Djokovic to the brink. This season, he has shown heightened confidence and consistency, achieving two round-of-16 results at Grand Slam tournaments for the first time since 2019. Although he was outmatched by Alexander Zverev in the French Open round of 16, Dimitrov’s strong performances indicate his capabilities at the highest level.
Holger Rune faced a devastating loss at the Australian Open after holding a commanding lead, which had a lingering impact on his subsequent performances. However, he found redemption at Wimbledon, making an impressive comeback from a 2-6 deficit in the super tiebreaker against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Rune’s unwavering determination has been a defining trait throughout his career, exemplified by his comeback victory over Novak Djokovic in Paris last year. Despite his successes, his inexperience and weaknesses on grass are evident, as seen in his unconvincing performances against George Loffhagen and Roberto Carballes Baena. While Rune has fallen short of his goal to win a Grand Slam in 2023, he still has room to grow and improve on the grass surface.
