I played the game in the right way. DIMITROV

After the match, Grigor didn’t hide his  happiness for his performance to comment

“It’s a good feeling, for sure. It’s a good feeling. I like playing in Cincinnati. I love that center court, as well. I think all that brings me good memories and just a positive way of thinking when I come out there on the court.

I think that was about it, to be honest. I didn’t think I did anything spectacular except playing the game the right way today. Just glad to get off the court for about an hour. Save some energy and prepare for tomorrow.

It was just one of those days that you just had to adjust to the conditions. I just had to adjust a lot to the conditions. It was pretty swirly out there. I knew what I had to do against him. From the first point, I think I was on top of the game. That carried me on throughout the whole match.”

Grigor will play the semi-final against John Isner. The head to head is 1-0 for the American.
