Match summary
Jaime Faria meets Grigor Dimitrov in the 1st Round Qualifying draw at Roland Garros on May 18 on outdoor clay. Faria, ranked 117th, arrives with momentum after winning three of his last five matches. Dimitrov, at 170th in the rankings, has struggled recently with just one win across his last ten outings.
The two have never faced each other. Recent form tells sharply different stories: Faria has won 7 of his last 10 matches overall and holds a 70% record on clay in the recent sample. Dimitrov has won only one of his last ten and sits at 55% on the surface over the same stretch, dropping his last six straight.
Faria operates as a baseline grinder, built for long rallies and clay court patience. Dimitrov relies on his serve as his primary weapon but has not converted that asset into wins of late. The match will hinge on whether Dimitrov can establish his service rhythm and shorten points, or whether Faria's consistency from the back of the court can wear him down over three sets.
