Grigor is rising! Baby Federer reaches the 3rd round in the Principality without dropping a single set. Dimitrov had a special match against Tipsarevic to win 7-6 (3) 6-1 in 93 minutes. The key moment was when Grigor rallied from a break down when he was 4-5 in the first set to win it at the tiebreak. The second set was a walk in the park to drop only a game.
From Grigor
“I was just trying to hang into the match. It’s never easy playing against Janko. Today was one of these days I was really looking forward to coming out on court and actually having a lot of fun, just trying to play good tennis in a way. I fought till the last point in the first set. I gave an extra edge as the match went on. I was very happy with the performance today.” said Dimitrov
Next vs. Mayer
The Bulgarian will play Florian Mayer in the third round. The German had a tricky tournament so far to win both matches in 3 sets vs. Ballerert and Bautista Agut.
Head to head is 1-0 for Mayer, but this time Dimitrov seems to be the favorite.
