Grigor Dimitrov won the quarterfinals match versus Diego Schwartzman, Argentina at the tennis tournament in Chengdu, China in three sets.
Bulgaria’s top tennis player lost the first set, in the second set he lagged behind but then managed to turn the match around winning by 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in two hours. This is the second match between the two players; the first match at the beginning of May in Istanbul was a disaster for Dimitrov who lost after leading by one set and 5-2. It was in Istanbul that 24-year old Schwartzman, ranked 70th, won the first and only title in his career.
