Grigor Dimitrov overcomes Gilles Simon to reach last 32 at Wimbledon

Former semi-finalist Grigor Dimitrov beats 16th seed Gilles Simon in four sets to reach the Wimbledon third round.

Grigor Dimitrov has progressed through to the Wimbledon third round with an impressive four-set victory over 16th seed Gilles Simon.

The former semi-finalist has struggled for form in recent months but he impressed during a 6-3 7-6 3-6 6-4 victory over his French opponent.

Dimitrov dropped just six points behind his serve as he took the opening set and although the second was more competitive, he dominated the tie-break to move one away from the last 32.

Simon rallied to halve the deficit but he could not maintain his momentum, and Dimitrov was able to strike twice in the fourth set to seal his spot in the next round in just over three hours.

The Bulgarian will now face American Steve Johnson.
