(Photo: Getty)The last time we saw Dimitrov on court, he was on the cusp of a massive upset win. He led Jannik Sinner by two sets to love during their fourth-round showdown at Wimbledon. Unfortunately, an injury forced him to retire in the middle of the third set, and he was sidelined until recently. He has now made a winning return to the tour at the Paris Masters.Medvedev recently won his first title in over two years at the Almaty Open. He commenced his quest for a second title in Paris with an easy win over Munar. He didn't face a single break point during the match. It also marked his first win at the tournament since losing to Novak Djokovic in the 2021 final.Dimtrov and Medvedev have a long history, with their rivalry dating back to 2017. The Bulgarian won their very first meeting but has managed to win only two of their next 10 matches. One of those wins came at the Paris Masters 2023, when he upset Medvedev en route to the final.However, even when he was healthy, Dimitrov had a tough time against top players this year. He has gone 0-4 against top 20 opponents, with three of those losses being quite one-sided, including a 6-0, 6-0 beatdown. Turning that record around so early into his comeback could be an uphill battle, thus making Medvedev the favorite to win this match.Pick: Daniil Medvedev to win in straight sets.Daniil Medvedev vs Grigor Dimitrov betting tipsTip 1: Daniil Medvedev to win.Tip 2: The match will have at least 20 games.
