Grigor Dimitrov eliminated Taylor Fritz in the semi-finals of the ATP 250 tournament in Geneva. The Bulgarian came back from a set down for a second game in a row to reach his first final of the season and first in five years as well.
Fritz showed his best tennis in the first set where he let his opponent get only three games and the second part started off in the same tempo, but Dimitrov managed to collect himself and pulled himself back into the set and finished it off 7-5.

In the final set Dimitrov won the first two games, but in the third made three consecutive double faults to give Fritz a lifeline. This way the part went into a tiebreak where the American made a lot of unforced errors and Dimitrov won the game.
