Dimitrov stuns Federer to reach US Open semi against Medvedev

Grigor Dimitrov rallied for a shocking upset of 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer at the US Open, the lowest-ranked New York semi-finalist in 28 years advancing to face Daniil Medvedev.

The 78th-ranked Bulgarian, who had dropped all seven prior meetings with Federer, on Tuesday made a dramatic fightback to defeat the Swiss third seed 3-6 6-4 3-6 6-4 6-2 at Arthur Ashe Stadium and will face Russian fifth seed Medvedev in Friday's semis.

"I'm just happy," Dimitrov said.

"The only thing I was telling myself was to stay in the match. Physically I was feeling pretty good. I was hitting some shots against him that were hard to hit."
"It's a best of five sets. Anything can happen."
"It should be OK."
"For sure I hope to be ready for the semis."

=========================
"I know his game. I'm just going to try and recover and reassess the match first and prepare from then on for Daniil. He's a tough player. He's tricky."
"Because he looks to start to be tired, and he has to beat some more tougher player in the semi-final and then in the final."
