Bulgaria's highest-ranking tennis player Grigor Dimitrov is to play against Diego Schwartzman in the third round of a tournament in Chengdu, China.

It was in a match against Schwartzman that Dimitrov was on the brink of grabbing the title of Istanbul Open this spring, but surprisingly lost 7:6, 6:7(4), 0:6.

Dimitrov, however, is said to be in a better shape compared to the spring, having performed well since then in tournaments in Cincinnati, Toronto, and the US Open tournament.

He is currently the world's 21st best tennis player according to the ATP rankings. Schwartzman is ranked 70th.
