Reigning US Open champion Dominic Thiem knocked out of the Australian Open in the fourth round after losing to Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday.

Thiem lost to Bulgarian in straight sets by 6-4, 6-4, 6-0 that lasted for over two hours. He was on the top since the beginning of the clash as he won back-to-back sets and kept Thiem under pressure. In the third set, Dimitrov dominated the game and claimed the set without giving a single point to the opponent.  Dimitrov hit 25 winners, including 10 aces, while Thiem committed 41 unforced errors and won just nine of 28 points on his second serve.

After defeating Thiem, Dimitrov will now lock horns with Russia's Aslan Karatsev in the quarterfinal match. Bulgarian will be contesting his sixth Grand Slam championship quarter-final.
