Today's Results: ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament

Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria tested Rafeal Nadal in a three set match that lasted 145 minutes. Of course, Nadal would prevail in the end. The match was pretty much even until Nadal wore down the Bulgarian teen. It was a good test for Nadal and a good showing for Dimitrov. Nadal will play Jo-Wilfried Tsongas in the quarterfinals, who beat Dmitry Tursunov in straight sets today.
