The Bulgarian continues his fantastic form at the Miami Open and will have the chance to lift the title as he will play in the final against Jannik Sinner.
One break opportunity in the 1st set was enough for Dimitrov to triumph 6-4 as his opponent had only 1 break chance but the Bulgarian saved it.
In the 2nd set, neither player had any break opportunities, and the set was decided after a tiebreak as Zverev dominated and won 7-4 points to tie the sets.
Despite that, Grigor continued to play better, and again, like, in the 1st set; 1 break chance was enough for the Bulgarian as he converted it and won the set and the match. Alexander had 1 break opportunity but didn’t convert it.
Dimitrov eliminated world number 2, Carlos Alcaraz, in his previous game at the tournament in straight sets.
