Tennis World USA on MSNGrigor Dimitrov's nightmare at Wimbledon broke everyone's heartGrigor Dimitrov suffered a truly shocking injury while he was playing his round of 16 match at Wimbledon against Jannik Sinner. The Bulgarian veteran was unleashing one of the best performances of his entire career and was in full control of the match, despite the fact that the world number 1 was on the other side of the net.
Dimitrov most recently retired from the first round of the French Open with a thigh injury while holding a 6-2, 6-3, 2-6 lead over American Ethan Quinn. He retired from Wimbledon in the fourth round in 2024 with an abductor tear. He trailed Daniil Medvedev, 5-3, in the first set at the time of that injury.
At Wimbledon 2025, Grigor Dimitrov had to retire due to a pectoral muscle injury. This happened during his fourth-round match against Jannik Sinner. Dimitrov was leading when the injury occurred.
Dimitrov's father Dimitar Dimitrov is a former tennis coach who began coaching Grigor at a young age and realized his son's skills. Dimitrov also credits his father with instilling strong personal values that helped him through his professional career, according to Sportskeeda.
Djokovic is looking for a record-tying eighth Wimbledon title, but Sinner has beaten him in their last four meetings, including in French Open semifinal.
