The highest-ranking Bulgarian tennis player, Grigor Dimitrov, made it to the second round of China Open after a hard victory against Steve Johnson.
It took Dimitrov three sets and 2 h 45 min to defeat Johnson in a 7:6, 6:7, 6:4 game. Specialized websites suggest that Dimitrov dominated the game, but missed several opportunities to score a swift win.
He will be facing Lucas Pouille of France in the second round. Pouille could turn out a tough contender, having made a spectacular climb up the ATP ranking - from the 91st to the 16th spot - in just eight months.
