Grigor Dimitrov has been absent from the professional tour since he suffered a serious injury during his match against Jannik Sinner at the Wimbledon Championships. That moment was really sad not only for the Bulgarian champion, but also for all tennis fans, because the former world number 3 was unleashing one of the best performances of his entire career on the iconic Centre Court and was ahead by two sets against the former world number 1.
After performing a serve, Grisha felt a twinge in his pectoral muscle and realized that his injury was very serious. He had to retire after briefly returning to the locker room and subsequently had to miss the Masters 1000 in Toronto and Cincinnati and the US Open, the last Major tournament of the 2025 season.
According to the latest rumors, the ace from Haskovo is expected to return to action at the Shanghai Masters 1000 and it is likely that he will use the last part of this year to regain his optimal shape.
Dimitrovsent Delgado a message
In the meantime, the news has become official that Dimitrov and Jamie Delgado - who has been following him as coach since 2022 - have broken off their collaboration. Thanks to the help of Delgado, with whom he has also created an excellent relationship off the court, Grigor has returned to lift a trophy after seven years and has achieved several prestigious results in the Masters 1000 (such as the final at the Miami Open last year).
Through his official Instagram profile, the former world number 3 wanted to dedicate a very touching message to his former coach: After a few years and great achievements together, Jamie Delgado and I have decided to part ways amicably. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
Grisha continued: Im excited to start fresh after this time Ive dedicated fully to my recovery. Im looking forward to coming back to play soon.
The Bulgarian veteran reached the semifinals in Shanghai two years ago, when he also defeated Carlitos Alcaraz.
