Shanghai Masters 2023: Dimitrov, Paul through to last 16
The HinduFan favourite Grigor Dimitrov claimed a place in the last 16 of the Shanghai Masters on Monday, overcoming a torrential downpour and a well-matched opponent in Russian Karen Khachanov to win 7-6, 6-4. Once the Qizhong Tennis Centre roof had been closed and a host of volunteers had towelled and blowdried the court, world number 19 Dimitrov inched a tight tiebreaker and followed that by taking the second set. “The rain was not pleasant but in the end you need to adapt and that’s what I was able to do.” There was heartbreak for French 19-year-old Arthur Fils, who came from a set down against world number 12 Tommy Paul to win a tiebreaker in the second set. The emerging star, who won his maiden ATP Tour title in Lyon this year, started strong in the third set, breaking Paul’s serve to win the first game.
