Shanghai Masters: Top seed Carlos Alcaraz beaten by Grigor Dimitrov

Top seed Carlos Alcaraz has been defeated in the last 16 of the Shanghai Masters by Grigor Dimitrov.

World number two Alcaraz, 20, won three games in a row to take the first set, but Dimitrov fought back to win 5-7 6-2 6-4.

Bulgarian Dimitrov, who is seeded 18th, will face Chilean 22nd seed Nicolas Jarry in the quarter-finals on Friday.

The 32-year-old is looking to secure his first ATP title since winning the season-ending championship in 2017.

"I'm still here, I'm not going anywhere," said Dimitrov after the match.

Jarry, 28, booked his place in the last eight of the tournament - the first Shanghai Masters since the Covid pandemic - with a 6-3 5-7 6-3 victory against Argentina's Diego Schwartzman.
