Dimtrov broke his opponent in the opening set to move 3-1 ahead and maintained his advantage, holding serve well to close it out 6-3.

The world number five then comfortably held his next two service games to take the second set.

Both players gave little away off their own service games in the third set, but in the ninth game Del Potro made a crucial break to give himself a 5-4 lead.

He then held his nerve to serve out the match and book a place in the last eight of the competition.
