Grigor Dimitrov's impressive run at Indian Wells continues as he prepares to face Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals. Dimitrov has yet to drop a set in the tournament, while Medvedev is coming off a run to the final last year.
Medvedev's serve has been a concern, with seven breaks in his last match. Dimitrov's break percentage is higher than Medvedev's, making Medvedev's serve crucial. Dimitrov's hold percentage is also impressive, indicating his ability to hold serve and set up rallies.
Dimitrov's variety from the baseline gives him an edge in longer rallies. His slice backhand and ability to hit with topspin or power will keep Medvedev guessing. Dimitrov also has a recent win over Medvedev in Paris, giving him confidence.
Medvedev's flat shots and lack of variety may not suit the conditions in Indian Wells. Dimitrov's ability to adapt and keep Medvedev off balance will be key.
Despite Medvedev's status as Australian Open runner-up, Dimitrov's current form and Medvedev's struggles make him a strong contender. Dimitrov's +156 odds offer value for a potential upset.
