Adolfo Daniel Vallejo vs Grigor Dimitrov preview
Adolfo Daniel Vallejo will take on former top 10 player Grigor Dimitrov in the first qualifying round of the Paris Masters 2026.
Vallejo started the season by winning a couple of Challenger titles. That put him on the cusp of entering the top 100. He eventually entered the top 100 with a second-round finish at the ATP 250 in Houston. He continued his rise over the next few weeks. He made the third round of the Madrid Open on his Masters 1000 debut, and the second round of the French Open on his Major debut.
Vallejo also finished as the runner-up at two more Challenger events during this period. His good run of form came to an end with a first-round exit from Wimbledon. While he made the third round of the Cincinnati Open, he crashed out in the first round of the US Open. His recent results include a quarterfinal at the Japan Open, a second-round showing at the Shanghai Masters, and a loss in the Vienna Open qualifiers.
Dimitrov’s most notable result this year came at Wimbledon, where he made the fourth round. He lost in the first round of the Australian Open and the US Open, and in the first qualifying round of the French Open. He also has only one win at the Masters 1000 level this season, which came at the Indian Wells Masters.
Dropping down to the Challenger circuit hasn’t helped him either. He lost in the first round of the Saint-Tropez Challenger a month ago. His most recent tournament was the ongoing Vienna Open, where he lost to Flavio Cobolli in three sets in the first round.

Adolfo Daniel Vallejo vs Grigor Dimitrov prediction
Vallejo has amassed a 45-24 record across all levels in his breakout season thus far. He also peaked at No. 52 in the rankings earlier this month. However, he has gone 11-9 on hardcourts. This will be his first appearance at the Paris Masters.
Dimitrov has struggled to reclaim his former glory. He has put together a 13-20 record across all levels this year. He’s a former finalist at the Paris Masters, going down to Novak Djokovic in the 2023 final. He also made the semifinals in 2019 and the quarterfinals in 2024.
Vallejo already beat Dimitrov at the Madrid Open earlier this year. However, that was on clay, a surface Vallejo excels on. Competing on hardcourts, that too indoors, could make it a level playing field. However, Dimitrov‘s 2-8 record against top 100 players on hardcourts this year makes him the underdog in this match.
Pick: Adolfo Daniel Vallejo to win in three sets.
