After
the high of last year, Defending champion Andy Murray was beaten 6-1 7-6 6-2 by
Bulgarian yesterday when he ended Fred Perry’s 77-year reign as
the last British man to win the singles title, this was a sad way for the third
seed to bow out.
Murray
never managed to find anything like his best form while Dimitrov played an inspired
match to reach his first grand slam semi-final.
Perhaps
the scoreline was not too surprising given their respective seasons – Dimitrov
having won three titles, including his triumph at Queen’s two weeks ago, while
Murray has not made a final since having back surgery last September.
