Navarro stunned by wildcard as Dimitrov enters quarterfinals in Brisbane International 2025

The Hindu  

Australian wildcard Kimberly Birrell stunned second seed Emma Navarro on Wednesday but defending men’s champion Grigor Dimitrov powered into the Brisbane International quarterfinals. Birrell matched world number eight Navarro stroke-for-stroke on Pat Rafter Arena to put a dent in the American’s Australian Open preparations. “That was kind of the attitude I had going into today -- I think that really benefited me, along with having played a lot of hours on this court here.” Dimitrov continued his love affair with Brisbane by easing past another Australian wildcard, Aleksandar Vukic, 6-2, 7-6. “So hopefully with each match I can build up a little bit more and play better and better.” He will play either Australian Jordan Thompson or American Alex Michelson for a place in the last four.
