Wimbledon 2023: Dimitrov dispatches Tiafoe with ease to advance

The Hindu  

Grigor Dimitrov dispatched American 10th seed Frances Tiafoe in straight sets with a convincing 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 victory on Sunday to move into the fourth round of Wimbledon where he will meet Danish sixth seed Holger Rune. Tiafoe arrived at the All England Club having captured his first grasscourt title at the Stuttgart Open last month but it was the experienced Dimitrov, a former semi-finalist here, who prevailed over two days. The first things Tiafoe highlighted when asked to give his thoughts on Dimitrov prior to the match were the Bulgarian’s first serve, his net game and his slice.
