Grigor Dimitrov Dimitrov (Bulgarian: Григор Димитров Димитров, pronounced [ɡriˈɡɔr dimiˈtrɔf]; born 16 May 1991) is a Bulgarian professional tennis player. He has been ranked as high as world No. 3 in singles by the ATP, making him the highest-ranked Bulgarian player in history. Dimitrov reached the ranking after winning the biggest title of his career at the season-ending ATP Finals in November 2017. He has won nine ATP Tour singles titles to date.
Prior to his professional career, Dimitrov enjoyed a successful junior career, in which he reached the world No. 1 ranking and won consecutive major boys' singles titles at the 2008 Wimbledon Championships and the 2008 US Open. In October 2013 at the Stockholm Open, Dimitrov became the first Bulgarian man to win an ATP Tour singles title. As of 2024, he is the male player with the longest active streak of consecutive Grand Slam appearances, at 55.[4][5]
Dimitrov is the first (and only) Bulgarian male tennis player to reach a final in doubles (in 2011), and to reach the fourth round or better at a major in singles. Dimitrov is the first Bulgarian to qualify for the ATP Finals, which he won in 2017, and to win a Masters title the same year in Cincinnati.[6] Dimitrov has also won more prize money than any other Bulgarian tennis player, being the only male Bulgarian player to reach US$1m[7] and in November 2023 became the 19th male tennis player ever to win $25m.[8]
With reaching the 2024 Miami Open final he also became the first Bulgarian to complete the full career set of quarterfinal showings at all nine active Masters events and the ninth active man to accomplish this feat after Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Gaël Monfils, Marin Čilić, Dominic Thiem, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev. With reaching the 2024 French Open quarterfinals, Dimitrov became the second player born in the 1990s, after Daniil Medvedev, to complete the career set of both Grand Slam and Masters 1000 quarterfinals and the sixth active player overall to accomplish the feat (after Djokovic, Nadal, Murray, Čilić and Medvedev).[9]
He won the Bulgarian Sportsperson of the Year award in 2014 and 2017, the first and second time a tennis player has won the award since its creation in 1958, and the Balkan Athlete of the Year award in 2017.[10][11]
