Grigor Dimitrov proved he is not just a pretty face after winning a pulsating battle of the Wimbledon pin-ups against Matteo Berrettini.
Bulgarian poster boy Dimitrov secured a 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3 victory over Italian hot-shot Berrettini to reach the second week.
His handsome reward is a fourth-round meeting with Britain’s Arthur Fery – the first time two wild cards have met in the last 16 at Wimbledon.
The ever-modest Dimitrov, speaking ahead of the third-round clash, had said: “If nothing else, it’s gonna be a pretty match.”
And at times during the three-hour, 32-minute clash, the tennis was as easy on the eye as the participants.
