Dimitrov didn't have a fine start to the game, as the two players were seen taking the game into a tiebreaker, with the Argentine sealing the opening set to take a lead. However, the Bulgarian star was seen showcasing his athletic play with forehand and backhand volleys, which baffled the 26-year-old star player to level up this thriller.

The 33-year-old star player continued his great form and remained dominant, with two ATP players pushing the game into a tiebreaker in the third and deciding set. However, the Bulgarian star's stellar display and his ability to save the match points in the third set allowed him to thwart the Argentine out of the marquee event.
