Carlos Alcaraz knocked out by Grigor Dimitrov in the ATP quarterfinals in Miami

The 11th favorite in Miami, Dimitrov was inspired by the comeback, the Bulgarian making four breaks against Alcaraz, who did not show any confidence in his game from the start.

The game statistics are on full display of the serve problem, with Carlos having modest percentages on both the first (56% of points won) and the second (52%).

Alcaraz had fewer winners than her opponent (16 to 23), committed 8 unforced errors and had three double faults.

Dimitrov dominated the Iberian even in points won in the goal: 50% (7/14) for Carlos, respectively 74% (14/19) for the Bulgarian.

Thus, Dimitrov won the second consecutive victory over the reigning Wimbledon champion, the head-to-head score is now 3-2 in favor of Alcaraz.

In the semifinals in Miami, we are waiting for matches: Grigor Dimitrov (11) – Oleksandr Zverev (4) and Daniil Medvedev (3) – Yannick Sinner (2).
