The most anticipated matchup of the qualies this year was today’s matchup of Thomaz Bellucci and Grigor Dimitrov. It was the top-seeded qualifier versus last year’s US Open junior champion.
In the end, Bellucci had a routine win over the Bulgarian up-and-comer 6-4 6-3. Bellucci should have won this match since he is the older and more seasoned player, but Dimitrov is more than capable of staging the upset – just ask Tomas Berdych in Rotterdam.
The Brazilian will play American Scoville Jenkins tomorrow for a spot in the main draw. They have never met in ATP or lower-tiered events.
