Grigor Dimitrov reached the second round of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Rome earlier today thanks to a 6-3 7-6[4] victory over Jerzy Janowicz.
The 10th-seeded Bulgarian broke Janowicz midway through the opening set, which he claimed in 31 minutes.
The second set was much more evenly contested and as a result, a tie-breaker was required, with Dimitrov coming out on top to wrap up the match against the former Wimbledon semi-finalist.
He will now face either Fabio Fognini or Steve Johnson for a place in round three.
