World No. 24 seed Grigor Dimitrov easily defeated 10th seed Frances Tiafoe in a rain-delayed, third-round match at Wimbledon on Sunday. Dimitrov, who reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2014, won the match 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 against the American Tiafoe.

Said Dimitrov, who had led Tiafoe 6-2, 6-3, 1-2 overnight in London: “He’s such a dangerous player, I knew I had to be very focused  He’s a player that has a lot of flare around the court. Great serve, great return, so I was just looking after my game, to be honest. The past weeks have been amazing weeks for me, out here in England. I’m just enjoying every single day.”

The 32-year-old also reached the third round of the Australian Open and the fourth round of Roland Garros this year, but is still looking to break his six-year title drought since his win at the 2017 Nitto ATP Finals. The Bulgarian said: “For me, I’m not looking at any [external factors] right now. I’m just focusing on my side of the net and looking after my game. I really enjoy coming out here and am really enjoying playing at the moment a lot. I think the older I get, the more I enjoy it, which is interesting.”  When asked about facing Danish sixth seed Holger Rune in the fourth round, Dimitrov said: “It’s going to be one of those matches. I have to take it like any other match. Of course he is young, talented and a very dangerous player, but so am I. Minus the young part!”
