The Bulgarian made an early exit from the Miami Open, but reached the semifinals of the Monte-Carlo Masters.

Following second-round losses at the Citi Open and the Canadian Open, Dimitrov failed to win a match at the Western & Southern Open and the Winston-Salem Open. He then went on to lose in the second round of the US Open, going down to Brandon Nakashima in straight sets. Seeded third in Sofia, Dimitrov received a first-round bye.

He came out on top in the tiebreak, finally clinching the first set on his fourth set point. A solitary break of serve in the second set was more than enough for Ymer to take it and push the match to a decider. Ivashka led 3-0 in the third set, but the Swede won the next couple of games to make it 3-2. The duo traded another couple of breaks, but remained on serve after that.

Grigor Dimitrov at the 2022 Winston-Salem Open. This match could swing either way. Dimitrov's record for the season stands at 21-18, while Ivashka is 20-18. Both have blown hot and cold throughout the year. The Belarusian needed three and a half hours to get past Ymer in the first round. Ivashka managed to win 58% of his first serve points in the previous round and will need to step it up against the Bulgarian.

Their vocal support might just be enough for him to get going when it gets tough and eke out a win. Pick: Grigor Dimitrov to win in three sets.
