Dimitrov, who has been placed on 5th place in the tournament has had 6 wins out of 7 matches against the 203 cm SouthAfrican until now , but almost all of their battles have been intriguing and competitive.  This match was not one of them and the finalist from this year's "Wimbledon" and US Open 2017 Kevin Anderson has qualified for the semifinals for only 68th minutes . 


First Set: 

Grigor has equalized by coming back from 0:30 giving his opponent tough time with a marvelous backhand strike , forcing the UAE giant to make a mistake . The 4th placed Anderson also had a nice service game gaining two quick points to make it 30:0 . The first brake in the match came with advantage for the Bulgarian with 2:1. 

In the 5th game forehand into the net , double fault and a wonderful winner from Anderson complicated the situation for the 27-year old Haskovo born player , who was forced to try and comeback from 0: 40. The Bulgarian has taken the following two points , but Anderson successfully realized his 3rd breakpoint and won the first break in the game.  With a quick game to 15 , Anderson has taken solid advantage leading by 4:2 . In the 7th game Grigor has allowed a turnaround from 40:15  leading to a new serve break , which basically decided the fate of the 1st set . It has been closed by the SouthAfrican without any trouble ending with 6:2 as a final result . 

Second Set


The collapse of Grigor Dimitrov was not finished with the end of the first set . The second one begun with a break in Anderson's favour , who was looking closer to winning the match than his opponent . Dimitrov stopped Anderson's streak of 7 games in a row , winning his serving game  and making the result 1:2.  In the 6th game Dimitrov was close to the break against Kevin , but wasnt able to do more than reaching 40:40 . Anderson was able to secure the game , making the result 4:2 .  In the 7th game Dimitrov lost his serving game once again , giving the SouthAfrican opportunity to end the match with his next serving , which he did incredibly easy. 


In the semifinals , Kevin Anderson is expecting the winner between Alexander Zverev from Germany and Stefanos Cicipas from Greece . Grigor on the other hand will be defending his "Masters" title in Cincinnati the following week .
