Grigor Dimitrov lost his first match and was eliminated at the ATP 1000 tournament on hard surfaces in Cincinnati (USA) with a prize fund of 6.79 million dollars.
The No. 8 seeded Bulgarian started directly from the second round and lost 6-4, 4-6, 4-6 to world No. 50 Fabian Marozhan of Hungary in nearly two hours of play. This was the second match between the two, as in their first match a few months ago, Dimitrov recorded a three-set success at Roland Garros.
Dimitrov was the champion in 2017 in Cincinnati, but for the second year in a row he lost his first meeting at this tournament. For Dimitrov, the loss is the second in a row on the Tour, after a few days ago he lost to Alexey Popirin in the third round of another Masters 1000 tournament - in Montreal.
The next tournament in which we will see Dimitrov play is the last Grand Slam tournament of the season - the US Open, which begins on August 26 in New York. | BGNES
