Andy Murray loses to Grigor Dimitrov in Wimbledon quarters
« on: July 03, 2014, 01:35:08 AM »
 Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov outplayed Andy Murray on Centre Court to end the Briton's Wimbledon title defence in the quarter-finals.

Dimitrov, 23, played superbly to win 6-1 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 in two hours and one minute and reach his first Grand Slam semi-final.

Murray had been on a 17-match winning streak at Wimbledon and was looking to reach his sixth consecutive semi-final.

It is the first time since 2008 that he has failed to make the last four.

Dimitrov, seeded 11th, had too much with his big serve, variety of shots and athletic defence for an off-key Murray, who looked underpowered on serve and made a host of unforced errors.

The Scot, 27, made a strong start but could not convert a break point in a tight opening game, and Dimitrov grew in confidence from the opening four-minute test.
