Dimitrov defeats Baker to set up a clash with Nadal in Cincinnati

It took just 56 minutes for Grigor Dimitrov to beat Bryan Baker comeback in Cincinnati.

The Bulgarian played a very good match to just breeze to the next round. The stats are rather clear. Grigor fired 11 aces on 9 service games. The Bulgarian put 71% first serve in and he won 80% of the points on his first serve. Eventually Grigor scored 0 points vs. Bryan’s 37. Too good. Match stats

Next vs Nadal?

Dimitrov will play either Benjamin Becker or, most likely, Rafael Nadal in the third round.  Head to head with Rafa is 2-0 for the Spaniard, but that was always a tough 3 setter. Time for Grigor to beat another big 4?
