April 30, 2025

From Lucky Loser to the quarterfinals. How are you?

Gabriel Diallo’s week at the Mutua Madrid Open is still dramatically and dramatically. This Wednesday saved three party points to overcome Grigor Dimitrov 5-7, 7-6 (7), 6-4 and to reach its first quarterfinals of an ATP Masters 1000.

Diallo, who lost 3-5 in the Tie-Break of the second set, surpassed Dimitrov in a struggle, which left the Bulgarian falling to the beaten earth. Dimitrov shook the dust to keep the serve and have two points of the game being 6-4, but could not turn any, and Diallo defended himself from a third chance in 7-6 before forcing the decisive set.

Before his first confrontation Lexus ATP Head2head, Dimitrov had a 5-0 record in decisive sets in 2025, but he could not stop the change of rhythm, giving a service break in the first game, which finally turned out to be the difference.

At the moment, Diallo has uploaded 25 positions this week at the PIF ATP Live Rankings until No. 53, which ensures that he goes up to the best position of his career.

With his victory, he becomes the fourth player who goes from being Lucky Loser to Cuartos in Madrid, matching Borna Coric (2017), Daniel Altmaier (2023) and Jan-Lennard Struff (2023).

The 23 -year -old competes as Lucky Loser for the third time in his four participations in a main box of 1000 Masters.

His next opponent will be the Italian Lorenzo Musetti, another player who will debut in some rooms in Madrid after exceeding 6-4, 6-2 to the Australian Álex de Miñaur, his executioner a few days ago in Semifinals de Montecarlo.
