Vintage Dimi! 🔥 @GrigorDimitrov takes the opening set against number 3 seed Andrey Rublev 6-3 in Vienna! #ErsteBankOpen
Grigor Dimitrov is finally playing a good event with the Bulgarian beating the Russian in straight sets 6-3 6-4 in Vienna.
This was not a good match from Rublev and it's typical for him to have them from time to time. He caught a very strong Dimitrov playing his best and when he does he's a player that could comfortably be ranked inside the top 5, as he once was.
Dimitrov was just unplayable today, especially due to his serve which worked to perfection and allowed him to lose only two points behind it in the entire match. He was 25/27 after hitting his fist serve and that is very hard to counter.
He added 8 aces and 25 winners with only 5 unforced errors, in the entire match. An absurd statline that would have probably beaten any player active today. Rublev was pretty solid overall but not aggressive enough and not precise enough. He was also very nervous in the entire match as he was unable to counter Dimitrov who was just spectacular.

- Zheng v Gauff the best final we could get. Both were and remain in top form the last few weeks. Queenwen even the whole year almost. If she finds her aces she's a contender. If not, Gauff's gonna take it.MrAndreeva08-11-2024

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
