Eventually it was the Bulgarian who emerged victorious in this 5-set thriller which the fans enjoyed watching till the end. This was perhaps one of the most intense games we have ever seen in the tournament which was what we expect from a major tournament like the US Open.

Though we have to give Andrey Rublev some props for giving it his all during the match, in the end it was Dimitrov who was the one that made it through to the playoffs. However, his victory was not all that the crowd was celebrating as Dimitrov also had an old friend and legend Serena Williams who was cheering for him in the stands of Arthur Ashe during his match. When asked during the interview whether he got nervous seeing her the World number 9 had a great reply saying " for some reason not in front of her. She gave me a good pep talk yesterday.”
