Grigor Dimitrov has advanced to his first Roland Garros quarterfinal after a solid victory over Hubert Hurkacz with a scoreline of 7-6(5), 6-4, 7-6(3). This accomplishment marks a significant milestone for Dimitrov, as he has now reached the quarterfinals or better at all four Grand Slam tournaments and ATP Masters 1000 events.
Throughout the match, Dimitrov, currently ranked No. 3, demonstrated exceptional skill, saving six of seven break points and showing remarkable prowess at the net. His confidence, bolstered by previous wins, played a crucial role in securing a one-set lead and winning the tiebreaker. This victory extends his perfect 6-0 record against Hurkacz.
Dimitrov has dropped only one set during the entire tournament, underscoring his strong performance. This is his seventh Grand Slam quarterfinal and his first since the 2021 Australian Open. Earlier this season, Dimitrov began on a high note by clinching his ninth career title in Brisbane.
Looking ahead, Dimitrov will face either Jannik Sinner or Corentin Moutet in the next round, aiming to continue his impressive run at Roland Garros.
