Man people not giving Dimitrov the props he deserves either.

Kyrgios was great, and really only had two bad misses on crucial points.

Bit Dimitrov was better, and that’s no shade to Krygios.

Hope he gets Rafa in the semi, he has a good record and is peaking.

Seems like a thoroughly good bloke too (as I also think Krygios is).

Not really a surprise that most commentary is focused on Kyrgios - Australian players obvs but also, all other things being equal I would guess that attention usually goes to the "dominant" player. Dimitrov played a great game last night, but the match was on Nick's racquet. Dimitrov played some great defense to first of all return as many of the serves as he did, but also scrambling around forcing Nick to play extra shots. And to be honest, aside from the tie breakers, he probably got outplayed (not by much), but credit to him for holding firm in the clutch moments. Not taking anything away from him either, it was a great game by both players and Dimitrov certainly played some fantastic shots of his own.

I haven't seen Rafa this tournament yet but I doubt Dimitrov has enough to take him out if Rafa is playing decently. I feel that to beat him you really have to just blow him out of the water with winners, you're not gonna out rally him all game long, and I'm not sure Dimitrov has the fire power. But if he plays as well as last night or better it will definitely be interesting seeing if I'm right or not - he could go close.
