Grigor Dimitrov has qualified for the fourth round of the Masters tennis tournament in Miami (USA). Bulgaria's best tennis player had a hard time in the hard court tournament after a 6:7 (3), 6:4, 7:5 comeback against Russian Karen Khachanov in more than two hours and 37 minutes of play.

This is Dimitrov's fifth success in a total of six matches against Karen Khachanov. 

Grigor's next opponent in Miami will be Brandon Nakashima. The Bulgarian tennis player achieved victory number 100 in the Masters tournaments on hard court.

"We know each other quite well and we train together often. We don't have any special secrets. The difference comes in a few points. In the first set I won more points, but I lost it. I need to raise my level at certain moments. A physically difficult match, but I need exactly such matches. I know that I can play much better tennis," commented Dimitrov on the court after his victory against Khachanov.
