LONDON (Reuters) - Grigor Dimitrov expects to suffer a sleepless night after squandering four set points to level his Wimbledon semi-final against top seed Novak Djokovic before eventually taking his leave of the venerable tournament on Friday.

Trailing by two sets to one, the Bulgarian 11th seed looked to have the Serb on the back foot in the fourth, but Djokovic held his nerve to save a set point in the ninth game and three more in the tiebreak before sealing a 6-4 3-6 7-6(2) 7-6(7) victory.
