Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov qualified for the Masters final in Paris today, after defeating Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first semi-final with 6:3, 6:7(1), 7:6(3).
The currently 17th tennis player in the world won against the 6th on the ATP list after a little more than two and a half hours of play and thus reached his second Masters final in his career.
Dimitrov started the match better and broke the first set already in the second game when he took away his rival’s serve and kept the tie break advantage until the end of that part of the game.
In the continuation of the match, there were break opportunities on both sides, but there were no breaks, so the second and third sets were decided in a tie-break.
The first tiebreak was won by Tsitsipas with a convincing 7:1 and thus equalized at 1:1, but Dimitrov answered and won the next tiebreak with 7:3.
Dimitrov will fight for his ninth trophy in his career, and the first one since 2017, against the winner of the second semi-final, in which the best player in the world, Novak Djokovic, and the Russian Andrei Rublev will meet.
