Grigor Dimitrov cruises into third round

Grigor Dimitrov has booked his place in the third round at the US Open with a comfortable 6-1 6-2 6-2 win over Dudi Sela this evening.

The seventh seed looked the stronger of the two players from the start at Flushing Meadows, getting an early break in the first set and taking less than half an hour to wrap up the opener.

The Israeli reduced his errors in the second set, and even managed to get a break back against the Bulgarian, but lost his serve in the following game as Dimitrov raced to a two-sets lead.

Sela continued to struggle to test his opponent during his service games in the third set, allowing Dimitrov to wrap up the match in less than 90 minutes.

Dimitrov will face either David Goffin or Joao Sousa in the next round.
