Grigor Dimitrov vs Borna Coric preview
World No. 21 Grigor Dimitrov and Borna Coric will lock horns in the second round of the French Open on Wednesday.
After a shaky start to the year, Grigor Dimitrov has hit a good run of form since reaching the quarterfinals of the Indian Wells Masters in March. The Bulgarian had a good run of form in the claycourt season leading up to the French Open. He reached the semifinals of the Monte-Carlo Masters with wins over Casper Ruud and Hubert Hurkacz. He lost to the in-form Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the last four in three sets.
But despite being in good form, Dimitrov has not been able to solve the Stefanos Tsitsipas riddle, going down to the Greek in his last three tournaments at Barcelona, Madrid and Rome.
The 18th-seeded Bulgarian looked solid in his first-round match against Marcus Giron at the 2022 French Open. He won 83% of the points on his first serve and had 17 break point opportunities, converting seven.
Borna Coric, meanwhile, was on the sidelines for a year since the 2021 Rotterdam Open due to a right shoulder injury.
A year after surgery, Coric is far off his best form, but is making improvements with each match. The Croatian had a difficult return on clay, losing in the opening round in Monte-Carlo, Madrid and Rome.
Having finally snapped his five-match losing streak in the first round of the French Open against Carlos Taberner, Coric will look to build confidence and form for the rest of the season.
Grigor Dimitrov vs Borna Coric head-to-head
The two players have never faced each other, so their head-to-head is 0-0. They were scheduled to play at the 2019 US Open but Coric was forced to withdraw due to injury.

Grigor Dimitrov vs Borna Coric prediction
Dimitrov will be the overwhelming favourite in this second-round encounter. He dropped just three games in his last match and seems to be in sublime form.
The Bulgarian has an excellent forehand and brilliant athleticism while also being capable at the net. This could work well against Coric's counterpunching style of play.
Coric will be looking to build some momentum after his win in the previous round. He will try to extend points, engage in long rallies and wear down his opponent from the baseline. Dimitrov, on the other hand, will look to end points quickly and play aggressively, with his serve being a crucial factor in the match.
The Bulgarian will have to bring his best against Coric, who seems to be finding his footing on clay and regaining his old form.
Pick: Dimitrov to win in four sets.
