In the semi-final he defeated Karen Khachanov 6:7 (3), 6:4, 7:6 (5). The Russian tennis player took a 4:2 lead in the third set tiebreak, but Dimitrov won five of the last six points and closed the set after three hours of play.

At the final Grigor Dimitrov will play against Ugo Humbert of France (ATP Rank 21), who defeated last year's champion Hubert Hurkacz 6:4, 6:4.

The Bulgarian tennis player will compete for his second title in 2024 and his tenth tour-level title.
