“It was a great match. I feel positive from it. I was moving well,” Dimitrov said.
“Step by step, match by match, I want to get better. My movement went really well. He came up with some beautiful shots.”
Dimitrov is now one match away from his first semi-final in nearly nine months, but faces a touch task with Kei Nishkori stood in his way.
Nishikori easily overcame Denis Kudlas 7-5 6-2.
“[I’m] excited to play Dimi. He’s obviously a good player,” Nishikori said.
“And I’m sure it’s going to be a great match, so hopefully I can play good tennis again.
Kyle Edmund was on the receiving end of a huge shock, though, losing to Japanese qualifier Yasutaka Uchiyama 7-6 6-4.
