BULGARIA’S GRIGOR DIMITROV ADVANCES TO AUSTRALIAN OPEN SEMIFINAL

Bulgaria’s top tennis player Grigor Dimitrov reached Australian Open semifinal with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 victory over 11th-seeded David Goffin of Belgium in an Australian Open quarterfinal match on 25th of January in Melbourne, Australia.

The 15th-seeded Dimitrov took the match in 2 hours and 13 minutes.

"In the first set it was absolutely nerve racking," Dimitrov said.

"With each game I was feeling a bit better and I was finding my groove. I'm just happy now."

"I have been on a tremendous roller coaster," Dimitrov said of the last two years.

"But I am happy with the way things happened the way it did, otherwise I wouldn't understand myself and I'm now appreciating things a lot better.

"To be in the semi-final of a slam means too much for me now," he said.

The 25-year-old Bulgarian has now won 10 matches in a row. He has made Bulgarian history by making multiple appearances in Grand Slam semi-finals.

Dimitrov will next play Rafael Nadal.
