Grigor Dimitrov continued his strong start to the season at the ATP 500 tournament in Rotterdam. The Bulgarian moved into the semi-finals of the hard court event on Friday with a three-set win over Alexander Shevchenko. Dimitrov won 7:6 (2), 3:6 and 6:4 after two hours of play.
In the semifinals, Dimitrov will face Alex de Minaur. The Australian somewhat surprisingly prevailed in the quarterfinals against second-seeded Andrey Rublev 7:6 (5), 4:6 and 6:3. At this year's Australian Open, Rublev held his own in five sets .
