Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (28th player in the world) made another spectacular comeback on Thursday to advance to the semi-finals of the Masters 1000 at Indian Wells.


Opposed to the Polish Hubert Hurkacz (12th in the world), the 30-year-old lost the first set before finding the sources to return to a round everywhere.

He then missed the opportunity to conclude on his serve at 5-3 in the third set and finally won in the tie-break in a battle of 2:37, 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-2).

"

I'm so happy to have a day off tomorrow,

" said the Bulgarian after the match.

I had never played against Hubert before, he is very dangerous.

He served incredibly in the first set.

In the second, I felt I still had juice to come back.

Everything was played in the last points

”.

Dimitrov continues his march forward after creating a sensation the day before by taking out the Russian Daniil Medvedev, 2nd player in the world and winner of the last US Open, also in three sets 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.

He will return for the first time since 2019 to the semifinals of a Master 1000. Hurkasz, winner in Miami last year, stops for the second time in a row in the quarterfinals at Indian Wells after his defeat in 2019 against Swiss Roger Federer.
