Italian Federico Cina is Grigor Dimitrov's first opponent at the Miami Masters.

The wild card entrant took advantage of his chance and defeated qualifier Francisco Comezzana 7-6(4), 7-6(2).

Last week, the world No. 441 was in the final of the Challenger tournament in Hersonissos, where he lost to Dimitar Kuzmanov 4-6, 2-6 in the title match. However, he became the first player born in 2007 to reach a Challenger final.

Thus, the 17-year-old tennis player will once again face a representative of Bulgaria, this time against the first racket of our country.

Cina is considered one of the next great talents of Italian tennis.

The tournament in Florida is very important for Grigor, who has to defend the points from the final a year ago and a possible early elimination would remove him from the top 20. | BGNES
