Florida, Mar 29: Grigor Dimitrov ended Carlos Alcaraz’s chances of completing the ‘Sunshine Double’ on Thursday at the Miami Open, as the Bulgarian ousted the top seed 6-2, 6-4 in the quarterfinals.
The Bulgarian entering the Miami semifinals for the first time, Dimitrov has reached the last four at eight of the nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments.
The 20-year-old Alcaraz was aiming to match his Miami semi-final result from last year and become the first player to reach three consecutive semis in south Florida since Novak Djokovic in 2014-16.
