The pair engaged in a cagey baseline battle, as Goffin struggled with his serve and made 46 unforced errors.
Goffin saved two match points trailing 5-3 in the third set but Dimitrov was able to serve out in the next game and clinched the win in two hours, 12 minutes when he blasted a backhand winner down the line.
