Third seeded Grigor Dimitrov faces a potentially tough Delray Beach Open quarter final against unseeded John Millman. Dimitrov has only had to play one match so far this week and that was against qualifier Mitchell Krueger. He won in straight sets but it was a difficult match for him. The first set was won on a tie-break and the second 6-3. Dimitrov is ranked 26th in the world and began this year with a run to the semi-finals in Melbourne. His only other tournament prior to this week was the Australian Open where Dimitrov lost in four sets to Benoit Paire in the second round.

John Millman is the world number 91 but up to 83rd in the live rankings. A win here will take him back into the top 80. The Australian beat eighth seeded Maxime Cressey in the first round. He lost the first set on a tie-break but then won the next two in the same fashion. The second round beat Marcos Giron in round two, this time in straight sets and with another tie-break in the second. It's been a bit of an improvement for Millman this week. Prior to arriving in Delray Beach, he'd only won one out of his five matches played this year. Dimitrov is the favourite here and can get the win in a match that may well have over 22.5 games and a tie-break.
