Grigor Dimitrov's success at the Miami Open has been remarkable, as he reached the semifinals by defeating Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev. Dimitrov has now reached the semifinals at eight of the nine current ATP Masters 1000 events. He became only the second player aged 30+ to achieve ATP top five wins in the quarterfinals and semifinals at an ATP Masters 1000 event. Dimitrov also secured his 20th ATP top five win, joining a select group of players born in 1990 or after. His victories have led to his return to the top 10 after 283 weeks, with a guaranteed spot at least at No. 9 on Monday. This achievement comes after dropping out of the top 10 in November 2018. Dimitrov's performance at the Miami Open included defeating three top 10 players in the same tournament for the first time since the ATP Finals in 2017.
