WATCH: Serena Williams cheers on ex-boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov as he seals a major win against Alexander Zverev in Miami

Tennis legend Serena Williams made her presence felt at the Miami Open, as she was present for both semi-final matches. After Sinner’s dominating victory over Daniil Medvedev, the American witnessed another thriller game to end the night. 

Her ex-boyfriend, Grigor Dimitrov, was up against Alexander Zverev for the last spot in the finals. He played near-perfect tennis, challenging his opponent for every point. Backed by the crowd, Dimitrov beat the German in straight sets. 

American legend Williams was his main cheerleader, as she cheered and clapped for him throughout the match. Furthermore, the former WTA No. 1 also greeted her former boyfriend after the match, praising him for the win. They shared a laugh and hugged it out, making the win more iconic for the Bulgarian. 

For context, Williams and Dimitrov go way back to 2013 when they dated for a brief period. Though not many sources have confirmed it, the two have been spotted together at multiple music concerts. However, their relationship took a major turn when Dimitrov dated William’s Russian counterpart, Maria Sharapova. 

Though Serena Williams refrained from confirming any news, the new scenario formed between Dimitrov and the two rivals got the world a bit interested.

Grigor Dimitrov set to return to the Top 10 of the ATP ranking following a major victory against Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals

Bulgarian ace Grigor Dimitrov has been in sublime form at the Miami Open. From the start of the tournament, the world witnessed a change in Dimitrov. Though it came a little late, the Bulgarian has still made a mark in this tournament. 

After a major victory against Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals, he was up against Alexander Zverev in the semis. It is to be noted that Dimitrov has not beaten the German since 2014, and, rightly so, Zverev was a strong favorite for this match. 

Pushing aside all the statistics, the 32-year-old played great tennis to make Zverev sweat for every point. Soon, he won the match in the third set and sealed a spot in the finals. It was Dimitrov’s first win against Zverev in almost 10 years. Adding to his glee was the ranking update, where he was confirmed to re-enter the Top 10 of the ATP ranking.
