Laver Cup - Dimitrov holds off Tabilo to put the Europeans back in front
Grigor Dimitrov didn't miss a beat.
Against Alejandro Tabilo, the world number 10 played a very solid match.
At times badly beaten, the Bulgarian had an answer for everything, hitting the ball hard and varying his game to perfection.
Relentlessly solid when it mattered most, the 33-year-old raised his game to frustrate Tabilo, who was by far the better player (7-6, 7-6).
After three matches, the European team now leads the Laver Cup (2-1).
In a few minutes, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev will attempt to double their lead against Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton.
