Having lost his past four finals, the 25-year-old Bulgarian claimed his fifth trophy – his first since the 2014 Aegon Championships. World No. 15 Dimitrov is now at his highest ranking since 29 June 2015, when he was placed No. 11.

Dudi Sela, competing in Chennai, did not drop a set en route to his first ATP World Tour semi-final since reaching the 2014 Atlanta final.
