Russian tennis superstar Daniil Medvedev has made it into the round of 16 at the 2021 ATP Indian Wells Masters in the United States. At this stage of the tournament, Medvedev is set to play against Grigor Dimitrov from Bulgaria.
Grigor Dimitrov is an exceptionally gifted player but he has lacked consistency over the past few years and that has resulted in the player’s current ranking. That being said, Grigor Dimitrov enters this match in decent touch having recently made the semifinals at the San Diego Open. In the previous round, Grigor Dimitrov defeated Reilly Opelka in straight sets. It was a solid performance by Dimitrov as the Bulgarian won all of his service games and 2 return games to round out a solid performance. That being said, this is going to be a tough match for Dimitrov as he is playing against the top seed in Daniil Medvedev.
