Dimitrov Leads Kyrgios In Cincy Final

Grigor Dimitrov is a set away from winning the biggest title of his career at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon.

The seventh seed took the first set 6-3 against Nick Kyrgios during the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 final. The Bulgarian erased both break points faced and has now held 46 of his 47 service games at the Masters 1000 event.

Dimitrov came up big on his lone break opportunity, returning a 129 mph serve from Kyrgios that the Aussie then netted. Kyrgios did not lose his serve during his semi-final win against David Ferrer. The Bulgarian has also been more solid from the back of the court, having won 17 of the 21 baseline rallies.

Both players are going for their first Masters 1000 title. Dimitrov is looking to win his third crown of the season after winning Brisbane and Sofia to start the year. He is 27-4 this season when he has won the first set.
