Edmund stuns Dimitrov to enter Australian Open semis
Melbourne, Jan 23 (IANS) British tennis player Kyle Edmund on Tuesday knocked out Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the Australian Open semi-finals.
This was the first time Edmund advanced to the semi-finals in a Grand Slam tournament, ending world No.3 Dimitrov’s bid for a first major title, reports Efe.
“Reaching the last stage of the best tournament in the world, it’s obviously very pleasing, but of course I want to keep going,” Edmund said after the win.
Dimitrov, the 2017 ATP Finals champion, conceded his serve twice on his way to losing the match in two hours and 49 minutes.
Edmund’s win came as revenge for his previous two defeats against Dimitrov in as many career matches, including a recent 2018 Brisbane International quarter-finals encounter.
After this victory, the 23-year-old Edmund secured a spot in the ATP rankings top 30, his career high singles position.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
