Queen’s Club 2014: Dimitrov vs. Lopez Championship Prediction

[4] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs. [10] Feliciano Lopez (ESP) Lopez’s left-handed forward-looking game has him in this final.  He also won the only career meeting between the two finalists at the Queen’s Club in 2010.  Dimitrov is a different player from 2010 so I won’t put much stock in that match.  Dimitrov’s development has frustrated many fans who like his game….
