Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the quarterfinal match at the Queen’s Club in London, Francisco Cerundolo from Argentina will be facing Grigor Dimitrov from Bulgaria. Dimitrov currently leads the head-to-head record with 1 win to his name, having defeated Cerundolo in the Round of 16 at the same tournament last year.

Cerundolo, 26 years old and ranked 26th in the world, has had a successful career so far. In 2025, he reached the final in Buenos Aires and the semifinals in Miami in 2022. He has made significant progress in his rankings, breaking into the Top 100 and achieving a career-high ranking 11 times in 2022. In June 2023, he reached his highest ranking of No.19 after a strong performance at the 2023 Roland Garros, where he reached the fourth round by defeating World No. 8 Taylor Fritz. Cerundolo’s breakout moment came when he defeated World No. 5 Casper Ruud in the Bastad tournament, which helped him move into the Top 25. He also had a notable win against World No. 8 Andrey Rublev in the Hamburg tournament. Moreover, Cerundolo became the first Argentine to win an ATP Tour title on grass since Frana in 1995 by winning the 2023 Eastbourne tournament. It is worth mentioning that Cerundolo comes from a tennis-oriented family, with his father Alejandro having played professional tennis, and his younger brother, Juan Manuel, winning the 2021 Cordoba title. Additionally, his sister, Constanza, was part of the Argentine field hockey team that won the gold medal at the 2018 Youth Olympics.

Cerundolo has a history of playing in ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinals, with this being his sixth appearance. He has a record of 1-4 in this stage of the tournament, with his previous two appearances in Miami in 2022 and 2023. He has a win-loss record of 28-31 against Top 20 players, including victories over World No. 13 Tommy Paul in the third round and World No. 6 Casper Ruud in the fourth round of the current Miami tournament. If Cerundolo wins this match, he will become the first Argentine to record three Top 20 wins in a single event since Juan Martin del Potro at the 2018 US Open, where he defeated World No. 20 Borna Coric, World No. 11 John Isner, and World No. 1 Rafael Nadal.

Moving on to Grigor Dimitrov, the 33-year-old Bulgarian is currently ranked 15th in the world and has a career-high ranking of No. 3. He has had an impressive career, with notable achievements such as being the former World No. 1 junior and ending 2017 at a career-high ranking of No. 3. In the same year, he became the first debutant since John McEnroe in 1978 to go undefeated and win the Nitto ATP Finals. Dimitrov is the highest-ranked Bulgarian player in history and the only player from his country to win nine ATP titles, including the 2017 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati tournament. He reached a significant milestone of surpassing 400 career wins in September 2023, with one of his notable victories coming against World No. 1 Novak Djokovic at the 2013 ATP Masters 1000 Madrid.

Dimitrov has had success in Grand Slam tournaments, reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon in 2014, the Australian Open in 2017, and the US Open in 2019. He has also reached 11 semifinals in ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, including finals appearances at Cincinnati in 2017, Paris in 2023, and Miami in 2024. One of his memorable victories came in the quarterfinals of the 2019 US Open, where he defeated Roger Federer as the World No. 78, becoming the second-lowest-ranked US Open men’s semifinalist in history. After initially struggling at the Miami tournament, Dimitrov has now reached back-to-back quarterfinals, including a final appearance last year. He aims to reach his 12th ATP Masters 1000 semifinal and become the 11th player in the history of the series to achieve 150 match wins.

Both players have had impressive careers and will be looking to continue their success in the quarterfinal match.
