World number one, Rafael Nadal was pushed by Grigor Dimitrov.

The young Bulgarian taking the first set 6-3, thanks to the ace. The second frame would need to go to a tie-break, and Rafa starts doing Rafa things, running for every ball this drop shot and getting there to produce the winner from a ridiculous angled volley.

The Spaniard evens things at a set apiece. Dimitrov missed a great chance to win the set in the tie break and Nadal would get a little lucky on set point, his backhand clipping the top of the net, just altering Dimitrov’s timing to hit it out, and he misses this one so it is 2-1 to Rafa. And from there on the Spanird was in charge the youngster was error prone in the fourth set, and the Spaniard takes the set 6-2, a big smile and probably some relief for the 2009 champion.
