Grigor Dimitrov will try to win the second Masters title in his career, and for that, he will have to go through the world No. 1 Novak Djokovic. The two go out at 16:00 Bulgarian time on Sunday in the dispute for the trophy in Paris Masters.
Our first rocket and the Serbian have a total of 12 matches between them, with Dimitrov having one win. It was in 2013 at the Masters tournament in Madrid.
Djokovic is on a streak of nine consecutive victories against the Bulgarian, the last of which came this season in Rome, where Nole prevailed 6-3, 4-6, 6-1. The two also competed at the Australian Open, where the Serbian won 7-6(7), 6-3, 6-4.
Grigor and Djokovic have two meetings in the "Bercy" hall in Paris. In 2016, the world No. 1 prevailed with 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, and in 2019, he eliminated Dimitrov in the semifinals with 7-6(5), 6-4.
This will be the 57th overall Masters final for the world number one. He has won 39 of them and holds the record for a total of 6 titles in Paris. Grigor will be appearing in only his second final at this level, but the positive thing is that he achieved success in his debut in a qualifying match, beating Nick Kyrgios in the final in Cincinnati in 2017.
The two players had an equally difficult road to the trophy clash, after each of them had to play three matches that were decided in the final set they definitely shouldn't be as fresh as possible, but the adrenaline will surely erase any fatigue and we're in for a treat to enjoy a world-class match for the title. /BGNES
