Wimbledon 2017: Grigor Dimitrov marches onto 4th round as Dudi Sela retires

London: Grigor Dimitrov had an easy ride into the last 16 at Wimbledon on Saturday when Dudi Sela was forced to pull out with an injury.

Israeli Sela, who had been struggling, quit after losing the second set, with the score at 6-1, 6-1 on Court Three.

Sela received treatment on his inner right thigh and battled on but eventually decided enough was enough.

It was the 11th retirement so far at Wimbledon - nine in the men's draw and two in the women's, notably that of Bethanie Mattek-Sands who suffered an horrific knee injury on court.

Dimitrov, 26, the Bulgarian 13th seed, is through to the fourth round for just the second time in his career.

The 2008 Wimbledon junior champion will meet either Roger Federer or Mischa Zverev on Monday for a place in the quarter-finals.
