Daniil Medvedev vs Grigor Dimitrov Preview
Former top 10 players Daniil Medvedev and Grigor Dimitrov will clash in the second round of the Paris Masters 2025. Medvedev began his campaign in the French capital against Jaume Munar. The Russian cruised through the opening set, securing it for the loss of just one game. He needed only one break of serve to close out the next set, wrapping up a 6-1, 6-3 win in exactly 70 minutes.
Dimitrov played his first match in over three months against the big-serving Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. He dominated his younger rival in the second set, dishing out a breadstick to register a 7-6 (5), 6-1 victory.
Head-to-Head: Daniil Medvedev vs Grigor Dimitrov
Medvedev leads their rivalry 8-3. He won their previous meeting at Wimbledon 2024 after Dimitrov retired due to an injury towards the end of the first set.
Dimitrov had led Jannik Sinner by two sets to love during their fourth-round showdown at Wimbledon before an injury forced Dimitrov to retire in the middle of the third set. This injury sidelined him until recently, but he has now made a winning return to the tour at the Paris Masters.
Medvedev recently claimed his first title in over two years at the Almaty Open. He commenced his quest for a second title in Paris with an effortless win over Munar, not facing a single break point during the match. This win also marked his first victory at the tournament since losing to Novak Djokovic in the 2021 final.
Dimitrov and Medvedev share a long history, with their rivalry dating back to 2017. The Bulgarian won their very first meeting but has managed only two wins out of the next ten matches. One of Dimitrov’s wins came at the Paris Masters 2023, when he upset Medvedev en route to the final.
However, even when healthy, Dimitrov has struggled against top players this year, going 0-4 against top 20 opponents. Three of those losses were quite one-sided, including a 6-0, 6-0 defeat. Turning that record around so early in his comeback could be an uphill battle, making Medvedev the clear favorite for this match.
