Grigor Dimitrov saved a match point to beat Francisco Cerundolo and reach the Miami Open semi-finals.
Dimitrov, who has been professional since 2007, is now one of the veteran players on the ATP Tour, but is still reaching the latter stages of the biggest tournaments.
The Bulgarian faced a lot of pressure during the early stages of his career, with Dimitrov often being compared to Roger Federer.
Despite not having anywhere near the same career as Federer, Dimitrov has been able to match his achievement at ATP Masters 1000 tournaments.
Grigor Dimitrov wins 150th ATP Masters 1000 match at the Miami Open
After Dimitrov beat 23rd seed Cerundolo, 6(6)-7 6-4 7-6(3), in two hours and 50 minutes he secured his 150th victory at Masters 1000 level.
As a result, Dimitrov has become the 11th player in history to achieve this feat, joining the likes of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
Djokovic leads the pack of players to win at least 150 matches at these calibre of ATP tournaments, having won a colossal 412.
Nadal (410) previously led this statistic until Djokovic broke the record after beating Camilo Ugo Carabelli in his third round match at the Miami Open.
While Dimitrov is nowhere near these numbers, he has found lots of success at Masters 1000 tournaments.
This includes reaching the Miami Open final last year, with Dimitrov’s biggest triumph coming in 2017 when he won the Cincinnati Masters.
Grigor Dimitrov unable to conduct post-match interview at the Miami Open
Although Dimitrov has put his name in the history books with his latest victory at the Miami Open, there were some concerning signs for him in the immediate aftermath of his win over Cerundolo.
Appearing to be struggling with the humid conditions in Miami, Dimitrov was unable to conduct his on-court interview with Andrew Krasny.
Dimitrov was helped off court by the tournament doctor and also missed his post-match press conference.
It is being reported by the Miami Open tournament that Dimitrov was suffering with dizziness and sat in the tunnel by the court for 30 minutes before heading to the locker room after the match.
Despite these alarming signs, Dimitrov will now have a days rest before he takes to the matchcourt again for his semi-final.
Dimitrov recently practised with Djokovic, and could play the 24-time Grand Slam champion in the Miami Open semi-finals if he is to beat Sebastian Korda.
