Dimitrov gives up, there will be an American in the US Open final!

Dimitrov gives up, there will be an American in the US Open final!

It wasn't the ending we'd hoped for. Nor was it the one we expected.

Just as the duel between Tiafoe and Dimitrov was building in intensity and both players were playing at a very high level, despite a few notable errors, Grigor Dimitrov's body suddenly gave out.

The match was unreadable right to the end. The early part of the match was dominated by an overjoyed Tiafoe, buoyed by his fans and taking advantage of a Bulgarian who was clearly out of his depth (6-3, 4-2).

Back to his best tennis, Dimitrov then gradually raised his game, forcing the American to perform a few feats of his own. Very strong, the world no. 9 came back to within a set of each other, and the battle looked set to last all night.

In the end, however, this was not to be, as the 33-year-old suffered an injury while trying to recover from a break point deficit in the third set (6-3, 6-7, 4-3).

Visibly suffering from a left adductor muscle injury, he tried, but simply seemed to be in too much pain to continue, and to his dismay was forced to give up (6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 4-1 ab.), leaving Tiafoe to join Fritz in a 100% American semi-final.

An American will be in the final for the first time since 2006, when Federer defeated Roddick (6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1).

He didn't 'give up'. He retired injured

That was really too bad. I honestly thought Grigor might pull it off and take the whole thing.

this author has a very interesting point about who he wanted to win. Too bad that didn’t happen.Tiafoe gave Dimitrov the 2nd set. At least that’s how i saw it.

Nope.. He gave up. Happens all the time in tennis when someone is losing or losing badly, he wasn't coming back and enough is enough. If he was up, you think he would of quit? Hmmm. Not good or bad but the reality of today's tennis. Kind of sad.
