In a decimated Queen's Club draw, Grigor Dimitrov is one of the few seeds left standing. On Wednesday, he was pushed to the limit when Julien Benneateau won the first set, but Dimitrov stormed back to win the next two.

Dimitrov turns into favorite at Queen's Club

Last week, the 26-year-old lost in the first round in Stuttgart to the always dangerous Jerzy Janowicz, but is now into the quarterfinals in Queen's Club, where he's one of the most obvious favorites.

The week has seen the Top 3 seeds Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka and Milos Raonic all lose in the first round, with No. 4-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga following suit in the second.

The world No. 11 is trying to find his rhythm on grass ahead of Wimbledon, the site of his first career Grand Slam breakthrough in 2014. Dimitrov won the Queen's Club crown just ahead of that run, and could do it all again this season.
