Set 2:
6: 3 Ready for Grigor!
5: 3, Forward, Grigor! Baena continued to connect, and Dimitrov was just hoping for that – another successful shot from Grisho followed. Then the previous №3 took control from the back of the court and completed a forehand on the line. Baena drew 30-30 after a poor short ball attempt by Grigor, but then mistook a setback at the net and faced a new break. The diagonal serve – backhand winner combination turned out to be a success for the world’s 101st, but in his second chance, the best tennis player tested us and led 5-3.
4: 3 Grigor continued to impress with his first serve performance and playing diversely. In the seventh game he pressed the opponent backwards again, and then Carbayes Baena decided to take the maximum risk and fell behind 3-4.
3: 3 Baena’s most convincing pass since the start of the game. This time he gave Haskovo just one point on his serve as he came off his double fault.
3: 2 Trouble-free serve for Grigor Dimitrov, who finished with a flawless short ball, which Baena didn’t even try to reach.
2: 2 At 1-2, Carbayes Baena made many mistakes, including one from right to right, which gave the Bulgarian a breaking point at 40-30. However, Dimitrov made a mistake from the back of the court. However, Grigor reached for the opponent’s short ball, and then made a beautiful backhand pass shot, passing the opponent on the right. This gave him another chance to break, and Carbayes Baena mobilized and finished strong. He kept entering the court and was saved again – 2-2.
2: 1 With a phenomenal cut and a short ball, Grigor reached 40:15, after which he delivered a super first serve and a new fast game for the Bulgarian.
1: 1 Carbayes Baena had some physical discomfort that prevented him from moving well on the pitch. The Spaniard took the lead with 40: 0, but with short balls Grigor tied at 40:40. A double fault from Baena followed and Grigor already had the advantage. A good first serve neutralizes the possibility of a breakthrough. By running towards the net, Baena managed to get his game out.
1: 0 Grigor continued his confident performance and the start of the second set. Perfect serves brought a breakthrough to Bulgarian.
Series 1:
6: 1, breakthrough and set – Grigor, Dimitrov was almost flawless. He returned to finish the backhand on the right, and then again pressed on this side and caught the Spaniard by surprise, so that the 101st of the world gave him two consecutive set balls from the reception. The previous №3 reached the opponent’s short ball and finished to close the part 6-1.
4: 1 The Bulgarian showed good efficiency on the first shot, but Carbayes Baena was constantly trying to change his way of playing. He started looking for shorter playoffs and took risks, and after finishing with a winning backhand from the right, he gained more self-confidence. Then, however, the net did not help him in two consecutive cases and Grigor stayed in the game winning his seventh consecutive set in the tournament.
4: 0 The Bulgarian easily reached three points to reinforce his second advance. On the first try, Grisho made a double error of 40:15, but the ace up the diagonal made the score 4: 0.
3: 0 Forward, Grigor! Grigor continued the more serious game in Paris and with a wonderful passing shot he hit two chances for a second advance. He made his second breakthrough with the first Bulgarian.
2: 0 The Bulgarian’s advance was confirmed after Grisho beat Baena with concentrated services.
1: 0 Forward, Grigor! Grigor had his chance to break away from the rival after reaching 30:40, but Baena did not allow the Bulgarian to break through on the first attempt. There was another breakthrough opportunity for Grisho, who relied on a game behind the main line and after a forehand on one out from Baena, our tennis player took the lead.
