Set Set 2, what is best Dimitrov can do is to own a game break of the US Open 2022 champion (5th game) but still subdued after 9 games.
The opponent of Novak Djkovic in the quarterfinals of the Paris Master 2022 is Lorenzo Musetti, a 20 -year -old Italian player. Carlos Alcaraz will compete with Holger Rune, the same age player from Denmark – in the round for the last 8 players.
