Dominic Thiem vs. Grigor Dimitrov: Preview and betting tips

The opening four matches of the Australian Open semi-finals are scheduled for Sunday. One of the most interesting should be the duel between Thiem and Dimitrov. Who will enjoy the victory?

Twenty-seven-year-old Austrian tennis player Dominic Thiem is ranked third in the ATP rankings. This is his highest ranking to date.

Dominic Thiem made it through to the eighth round over Kukushkin, Koepfer and Kyrgios. He was definitely most worried about the home player, who even led 2: 0 in sets.

Grigor Dimitrov is a twenty-nine-year-old Bulgarian tennis player who is currently ranked 21st in the ATP rankings. His best ranking was in 2017, when he held the third position.

Dimitrov has been putting in fantastic performances on the tennis courts in Melbourne. So far, he has not lost a single set here, losing his serve only once.

So what to bet on? Dominic Thiem is definitely not such a favourite as the odds suggest (1.32). I see the chances of winning this duel very evenly.

The fact that Dominic Thiem spent three hours more on court than his next opponent on Friday could play a big role in the match.

Moreover, clay is Dominic Thiem’s favourite surface. The fact that Dimitrov has won three times out of four matches on the hard surface is a testament to this.
