Bulgarian dimitrov

Miami Open ATP Masters: Grigor Dimitrov followed his ruthless upset of Carlos Alcaraz with another brilliant display to beat Alexander Zverev on Friday at the Miami Open and set up a summit clash with Italian Jannik Sinner, a top-5 player. With his 6-4, 6-7(4), 6-4 victory, Bulgarian Dimitrov advanced to his third ATP Masters 1000 event and his first in Miami.

The result also moved Dimitrov up to No. 9 in the ATP Live Rankings, securing his return to the Top 10 in the ATP Rankings for the first time since November 2018. The gap of 260 weeks between his Top 10 standings is the third-longest in the history of the rankings.

His victory set up another clash against a Top 5 opponent: Jannik Sinner awaits in Sunday's final after his 6-1, 6-2 result against Medvedev earlier on Friday. The Italian leads their ATP head-to-head 2-1, with wins in Miami and Beijing last season.
