Grigor Dimitrov is two wins away from a first ATP title in six years after reaching the semi-finals of the Shanghai Masters.
Dimitrov beat Chile’s Nicolas Jarry 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 in an hour and 39 minutes.
The 18th seed, caused a major shock in the fourth round by eliminating Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz, and he followed that up well.
He will now play Russian Andrey Rublev or Ugo Humbert of France for a place in Sunday’s finals.

Rublev, ranked seventh, is the only player from the world’s top 10 remaining in the tournament after a series of upsets, opening the door for Dimitrov to potentially win a first singles title since the 2017 ATP Finals.
There was little to choose between Dimitrov and 22nd seed Jarry in the first set before the tie-break, in which Dimitrov raced to a 5-1 lead before seeing it out.
He then broke Jarry in the seventh game of the second set, and despite requiring treatment on his right shoulder he was able to secure the win.
Saturday’s semi-final on the other side of the draw has already been determined, with Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz to face American Sebastian Korda after both won through on Thursday.
