“For the first time in the third round. I'm living a dream and I'll keep looking for more. Whoever it is, I will try to do my best and continue to expand the dream”, said the Portuguese number one who is 69th in the ATP ranking, who will now face the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (13th ATP), who defeated Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis (80th ATP), 6-3, 6-2, 4-6 and 6-4.

“I'm very happy, it's a great time to have the best victory of my career, the best of five sets in the Grand Slam is worth more, without a doubt. I’m very proud, very happy, but unfortunately, I'm already preparing for the next doubles game tomorrow morning [Friday], so I don't have that much time to enjoy it,” he added.
