Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov reached his first Australian Open semi-final with a straight-sets win over Belgian David Goffin on Wednesday Jan 25,2017
The 15th-seeded Dimitrov won 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in two hours, 13 minutes on Rod Laver Arena and will face either third seed Milos Raonic or 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal in Friday's SF
It was Dimitrov's second career Grand Slam semi-final after his last-four appearance at Wimbledon three years ago.
The win also equalled Dimitrov's career-best winning streak of 10 matches after his lead-up tournament win in the Brisbane International, where he beat Kei Nishikori in the final.
The last time the Bulgarian won 10 straight matches was back in 2014, when he took the title at Queen’s and reached the last four at Wimbledon
David Goffin was bidding to become the first Belgian man to reach a Grand Slam SF since Xavier Malisse at Wimbledon in 2002
