ANKARA (AA) — Grigor Dimitrov eliminated 2012 men's singles titlist Andy Murray in the 2023 US Open Round 2 on Thursday.
The Bulgarian beat the British player with the sets 6-3, 6-4, and 6-1.
"I'm very happy with the performance today — I was expecting, honestly, five sets," said Dimitrov, adding: "I was constantly trying to remind myself that I'm here for the long haul. That first set was the key. After that, I kind of settled in a little bit more."
The 32-year-old will take on German Alexander Zverev in Round 3.
