Del Potro, Dimitrov to face in semi-finals

Del Potro, Dimitrov to face in semi-finals
by Jawad Bisharat

A strong finish for Grigor Dimitrov helped him to beat Marcos Baghdatis 6-7(4), 7-6(0), 6-3 on Friday in the quarter-finals of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament.

"I definitely had to fight with myself in the second set, I lost focus a little bit," said Dimitrov. "The match went through a lot of phases and I was happy I got out of it. I knew if I kept my composure on court and was able to play decent shots, I knew I could get the second set and eventually the match. It's never easy to play against a good friend."

Dimitrov is through to his second semi-final this season having reached ATP World Tour final at the Brisbane International having beat Baghdatis in the semi-finals.

Dimitrov will face second seed Juan Martin del Potro, who defeated Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 6-4. Del Potro served 10 aces in his victory and looks forward to his semi-final match with Dimitrov

Later action will include Roger Federer looking to stay on track to defend his title at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament.
