Grigor Dimitrov vs Marc Polmans preview
Grigor Dimitrov, who has fallen drastically in the rankings since his injury in last year’s Wimbledon, has been competing in Challenger and low-tier ATP tournaments to improve his position. After a shock qualifier exit at the Roland Garros, Dimitrov attempted to rediscover his mojo in the Challenger tournament in Dublin. The World No. 169 made his way into the quarter-final but succumbed to a defeat against Kyrian Jacquet. He has now shifted his focus to Mallorca to gain momentum before returning to Wimbledon.
His opponent, Marc Polmans, has been actively competing on grass across singles and doubles events. He staged a Round of 32 finish during the Challenger event in Heilbronn, but succumbed to defeat against Benjamin Bonzi in the qualifier stage at Libema Open. He teamed up with Sadio Doumbia for the doubles event at the Terra Wortmann Open and crashed out in the quarter-final stage against Daniel Altmaier and Joao Fonseca. So far, he has impressed in Mallorca and would be keen to extend it with a win over Dimitrov.
Grigor Dimitrov vs Marc Polmans Head-To-Head

Grigor Dimitrov vs Marc Polmans prediction
Grigor Dimitrov is expected to kick off his maiden stint in Mallorca with a win over Polmans. The Australian has arrived with momentum on his side with commendable wins over Jamie Mackenzie 7-6(4) 6-1 and Abedallah Shelbayh 6-3 7-6(4) in the qualifiers.
He could pose Dimitrov some questions, but he is unlikely to cross the finishing line against the Bulgarian, who boasts a 62.75% win percentage on the surface. Polmans has adopted an aggressive approach for both of his wins and blasted 38 winners against Shelbayh. He exuded consistency in his serve, firing eight aces and committing just one double fault in the entire contest. Despite his promising run, Dimitrov remains highly likely to cruise into the next round.
Predicted winner: Grigor Dimitrov to win in straight sets.
