Grigor Dimitrov vs Nicolas Jarry preview
Fifteenth seed Grigor Dimitrov will take on Nicolas Jarry in the second round of the Madrid Open.
Dimitrov is a tough contender on the men's tour. He's made a solid start to the season by amassing 12 wins from 19 matches, including semifinal runs in the Brisbane International and the Miami Open. Despite a valiant effort against Novak Djokovic, the Serb defeated him in Miami 6-2, 6-3.
The Bulgarian will enter Madrid after a quarterfinal run in Monte-Carlo. He outfoxed Valentin Vacherot and Alejandro Tabilo en route to the last eight but couldn't make his mark against Alex De Mianur. The Australian completely outclassed him in 44 minutes, with a double bagel victory.
Meanwhile, Nicolas Jarry has made a slow start to the season. He's garnered four wins from 12 matches, including a quarterfinal run in the Brisbane International. He also reached the second round of the Rio Open but lost to Francisco Comesana in three sets.
The Chilean entered Madrid after a first-round exit in Munich. He started his campaign with a much-needed win against Daniel Altmaier in the opening bout. Jarry defeated the German in one hour and 16 minutes, 6-3, 6-2.

Grigor Dimitrov vs Nicolas Jarry prediction
Grigor Dimitrov ran out of gas during his quarterfinal loss in Monte-Carlo. The Bulgarian is making his 12th appearance in the Madrid Open but has never made a significant impact at the event. He will be hoping to build momentum in the initial few rounds and make a deep run this year.
Jarry, on the other hand, has yet to find his rhythm this season. He reached the final in Argentina and Rome last year, but looks out of touch at the moment. The Chilean has a potent all-around game but will need to step up with the right attitude against Dimitrov.
The Madrid crowd can expect an engrossing contest in the second round. Dimtirov will be a slight favorite to enter this bout due to his consistent results this season. Jarry has the pedigree to cause an upset and is known for his skill set on clay, but might come up short against the Bulgarian in the second round.
Pick: Dimitrov to win in three sets.
