Former world number two among juniors Anastasia Pivovarova, in an interview with socialbites.ca, described the match between Grigor Dimitrov and Portuguese Nuno Borges as the most dramatic match at the Australian Open 2024.
“Dimitrov lost in four sets (7:6, 4:6, 2:6, 6:7). He had a point and made a double mistake; This was also an important thing. I never expected such a game from Grigor because he was preparing very seriously for the season. He won the title in the first week in Brisbane and showed a high level of tennis.
However, when he came to Melbourne, he could not find his rhythm in the first match. Apparently courts or balls were not Dimitrov’s cup of tea. Something went wrong with his game and the Australian Open ended very sadly for him. I think it will not be easy for Grigor to cope with this psychologically,” Pivovarova said.
Dimitrov reached the third round of the Australian Open. In the first he beat Marton Fucsovics (4:6, 6:3, 7:6, 6:2) and in the second he beat Thanasi Kokkinakis (6:3, 6:2, 4:6, 6:4). .
