The pair have met once this summer already, with Johnson winning over four sets on the grass of Wimbledon, while the American was also a winner against Dimitrov in Washington DC last summer.
Dimitrov took the win at Wimbledon 2015 when he was number 11 in the world and if Dimitrov does win this match it will be only the second time at main level that he's made a semi final in the USA.
This is his 32nd event in America and only at Delray Beach this year has he made a semi final, while on only one other occasion has Dimitrov ever made a quarter final in the USA (Washington DC 2013).
On the stats for 2016 on outdoor hard we see that Johnson has the edge on service holds, with an 87.9% mark compared to the 82.7% of Dimitrov, while it's the Bulgarian who breaks more often at 20.6% compared to 15.7% for Johnson.
Their head-to-head hold favours Johnson, who has held his own deal 86.4% of the time against Dimitrov, who has held his against Johnson 84.5% of the time.
They've played four tie breaks in three career meetings and it will probably be close again, but I have to favour Johnson, who has been by far the more consistent performer this summer.
Dimitrov has been so up and down that I don't see any value in him today as favourite against a fired-up opponent who is in the form of his life right now and bubbling with confidence.
