Bulgaria's top male tennis player Grigor Dimitrov is facing Argentina's Guido Pella later on Wednesday in the second round of Citi Open in Washington DC.

This is the first-ever game between Dimitrov and Pella. For the Bulgarian, it comes at a time when he is trying to recover after a tough season of defeats.

Dimitrov and Mardy Fish (US) on Monday secured a victory over former Wimbledon winners Jack Sock and Vasek Pospisil with 6:7 (2), 7:6 (5), 10:8.

Pella is currently No. 100 in the ATP world rankings, and Dimitrov sunk to No. 16 in July (after having been No. 10 at the same time of 2014).
