With his sights firmly set on the title, Dimitrov remains focused on delivering his best on the court.

This will mark Dimitrov's third appearance in an ATP Masters final, having previously clinched the title in Cincinnati in 2017. Regardless of the final outcome, Dimitrov's impressive run in Miami will see him ascend to No. 9 in the world rankings, with a victory propelling him to the No. 7 spot.

As the tennis world eagerly awaits the thrilling conclusion of the Miami Masters, all eyes will be on Grigor Dimitrov as he seeks to etch his name in the annals of tennis history with a triumphant victory.
