Grigor Dimitrov has ended his participation in the ATP 500 tournament in Acapulco, where he had to defend the title. The Bulgarian was eliminated in the second round after he has suffered a loss with 1: 2 sets of US qualifier Ryan Harrison in the different parts 5: 7, 6: 4, 0: 6.
The Sportsman No1 of Bulgaria definitely has something to regret, after literally he dropped the first set of the match, in which he was leading with 5: 3 games. At 5: 4 Grisha served for the set, but he has allowed a breakthrough in the last possible moment, then he has lost the set.
In the second part of the Bulgarians managed to dominate with 6: 4 and has returned his hopes, but in the decisive third set the game of Dimitrov was staggering and he deserved dropped.
The loss means also a loss of significant number of points for Dimitrov. The Sportsman No1 of Bulgaria had to defend the trophy in Acapulco, which means to defend 500 points.
By reaching the second round, however Grisha managed to preserve only 45 points, which means that from Monday sure he will lose his place in the Top 10 rankings.
For Ryan Harrison, however, this was the first victory over Dimitrov in three matches against this opponent.
