After losing five times to ex world No 4 Juan Martin del Potro, the seventh seeded Grigor Dimitrov finally succeeded to beat him in the third round of the Cincinnati Masters 6-3 7-5.
“I spoke with my coach in the locker room after [the win], and I was, like, ‘Listen, I really needed that match.’ He was, like, ‘You know what? I kind of agree with you,’” Dimitrov said.“Yeah, I always wanted to, coming up the rankings, I always wanted to say that I want to beat all the players out there. That’s a goal of mine. Yes, slowly and surely I’m getting there. There [are] still a few guys that I haven’t conquered yet, but I believe in good times, good things will come.”
With this win Dimitrov almost secured his re-entry to Top 10.
In the quarterfinals on Friday Grigor Dimitrov faces No 46 Yuichi Sugita of Japan.
