I don't have too much hope for Feli but I hope to be wrong

Feli has a very good record vs Dimitrov..1-2 ..one of the losses came at Queens i. 2014 where he lost in 3 tiebreakers and blew a mp on a fluke play.. It really depends how well Feli serves and hits his bh..his bh slice against Berdych was almost McEnroe ish..(is that a term like Jordanian)

 

[Moxie]

Rather pleased to see that Feli pulled off the win. I think he be looking for redemption tomorrow v. Grigor. That was a tough loss.

 

[Carol]

Watching the replay match I see that Dimitrov had to go to three sets to win vs ...who? maybe Feli could make it

I hate to say it, but it is rather a question of who might out-flake the other. Dimitrov knows he should win this match. So I hope that frees up Lopez to show him the door.

I haven't seen the match but I've read that Feli's serve has been phenomenal and seems to be very motivated but I hope he doesn't do the same errors that he did against Poullie in last final

Feli didnt serve as well versus Pouille as he did against Berdych..If he serves and slices like yesterday he may make it to the round of 16 unless he faces one of the big 4 plus Stan

Feli has less pressure,, he is playing with house money at this point in his career,, Whereas Grigor has been an underachiever on the tennis court,,(he done pretty well outside the court socially). However Grigor has had a decent year but he just isnt a streaky player as for as winning consecutive matches in a row.,,thats for a lack of focus and pure desire

 

[Carol]

I see they are playing again, Feli has lost the second set and the third......we'll see but I'm not too optimistic

Oh yeah of little faith, Feli has two mps.. and he is up a couple of breaks

 

[Carol]

Wow, Feli wants the Trophy and I think he deserve it!

 

[Front242]

Cilic should eat him for breakfast. Whether he will or not is another thing though.

Cilic would be favored but not as severe as you say..Lopez can win

 

[Puppet Master]

Dimitrov lives to disappont his fans. Jesus. First time he goes beyond a quarter final since February, and he gets bombed out by Lopez. Did anyone watch that third set? I swear to god I have a better bakchand...
He netted so many. Peak Dimitrov.
Sad thing is, he wasn't even overhitting. Backahnd after bakchand just flies into the net. A title here would have done wonders for him. Oh well. Back to the drawing board for him.

 

[Front242]

Cilic would be favored but not as severe as you say..Lopez can win

Sure, Lopez is a fine grass court player no doubt about it. Cilic has put up a lot more of a fight against the top players like Djokovic and Federer at Wimbledon though and just needs to channel that version of himself and he'll win.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I am rooting for Lopez, the only Spaniard who is not "dirty".

 

[Moxie]

I am rooting for Lopez, the only Spaniard who is not "dirty".

Just FYI, he won a title on dirt, just last year. He's still a Spaniard, after all.

 

[Carol]

Losing or winning tomorrow kudos to Feli, great serve, game and he seems very motived, hope to see him lifting the Trophy
