Against the young Frenchman Kyrian Jacquet (ranked 209th in the world and a qualifier), Dimitrov gave nothing away to a Frenchman who simply wasn't strong enough (6-3, 6-4, 6-2 in 1h45).
Solid on serve (11 aces) and very aggressive in the exchange (38 winners), the world number 9 gave Jacquet a lesson in tennis, bitterly aware of what still separates him from the highest level.
