Today, Grigor will be looking for revenge against Jarry and a place in the round of 12 in Shanghai
Today, the best Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov will be chasing a place in the semi-finals of the "Masters 1000" tournament in Shanghai. In order to guarantee it, he must overcome the obstacle Nicolas Jarry (Chile). Their match is second on center court and will start at 11:30. Dimitrov and Dzhari know each other well, and they are very close in the rankings. Our boy is ranked #19 and Jarry is ranked #22, which is his best ranking to date.
The two played in the final in Geneva in May. Then Grigor lost 6:7(1), 1:6. Our top tennis player has yet another defeat from the Chilean - in the quarterfinals in Barcelona in 2019 with 6:2, 4:6, 6:7(2). The winner of that quarterfinal will play the winner of the match between No. 5 seed Andrei Rublev of Russia and Hugo Humber of France. Grigor reached this stage of the Shanghai Masters after hugely prestigious victories over world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz and Karen Khachanov, with a routine performance against Aleksandar Vukic in his first match. Grigor is looking for his fifth ATP Tour semi-final in 2023 -th - the previous ones are in Rotterdam, Geneva, Washington and Chengdu.
