Grigor Dimitrov: 'Composure was key to five-set win over Marcos Baghdatis'

Dimitrov: 'I showed good composure'

Grigor Dimitrov has said that he needed to keep his cool in order to see off Marcos Baghdatis in the Australian Open third round.

The 10th seed wasn't at his best but he eventually battled past the Cypriot in five sets, 4-6 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-3, and he later said that he had to dig deep in order to make it through.

He told reporters: "Marcos was playing extremely good tennis. At the same time early in the match I didn't go for my shots. Marcos, the crowd was for him. But at the end of the day, I kept the good composure, I won."

Dimitrov will play either Andy Murray or Joao Sousa in the next round.
