Delbonis never recovered as he made several unforced errors, but Dimitrov also raised his own level as he played some masterful strokes to race through the second set 6-0.

The former semi-finalist then eased off the gas early in the third set as the match drifted to 4-4, but Delbonis gifted him a break of serve in the ninth game with a slice into the net.

This gave Dimitrov the chance to serve it out, and he did so with ease to book his place in round two.
