Bulgaria’s top tennis player Grigor Dimitrov has lost a Brisbane International semifinal match to Switzerland’s Roger Federer 2:6, 2:6.

Federer took just 53 minutes to beat fourth-seeded Dimitrov on Saturday, thereby reaching the final of the Brisbane International.

Federer will now play Canada's Milos Raonic in Sunday's final.

If Federer wins Sunday's final, he will be the third player in ATP history to chalk up 1000 match wins.
