Second-seed and defending champion Grigor Dimitrov will look to keep his title defense on track as he takes on eighth-seeded Jordan Thompson in the quarterfinal of the 2025 Brisbane International. 2025 saw the Bulgarian be a regular in the Top 10 again. He reached 4 finals during the season, with his only title coming in Brisbane, 12 months ago.

In 2025, Dimitrov entered the Brisbane International as the second seed. The Bulgarian faced off against German qualifier Yannick Hanfmann, winning 7-6 (5), 6-3. He then squared off against local favorite Aleksandar Vukic, securing another straight-set victory, winning 6-2, 7-6 (5).

Meanwhile, 2024 was the season in which Jordan Thompson made his mark in the singles circuit. The Australian reached his career-best ranking of 26 during the season and also won his maiden title at the Los Cabos Open. He also reached the final in Atlanta, eventually losing to Yoshihito Nishioka.

Thompson has carried on his good form from the 2024 season into the first event of the 2025 season. He won his first-round match in Brisbane, defeating Matteo Berrettini 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. He then faced off against American youngster Alex Michelsen in the second round. The Aussie veteran held his own, winning in straight sets 7-5, 6-3.

Grigor Dimitrov vs Jordan Thompson prediction

During their semifinal clash in Brisbane last year, Dimitrov put up a dominant performance, as he won 73 percent of the service points and 39 percent of the return points. Thompson, on the other hand, won 61 percent of the service points and 27 percent of the return points.

The Australian had 6 break point opportunities during the match but failed to cash in on any one of them. On the other hand, Dimitrov converted 2 of the 7 points and that was enough for the Bulgarian to emerge victorious.

Pick- Dimitrov to win in straight sets.
