This injury setback comes after a resurgent year for Dimitrov, having won his first title since 2017 in Brisbane, reaching a Masters 1000 final in Miami and breaking back inside the top 10 for the first time in six years.

The 33-year-old is next entered into the ATP 500 event in Washington D.C. that begins on Monday 29th July.Inside the baseline…It is a huge disappointment for Grigor Dimitrov, who was having such a great year and looked great on the grass of Wimbledon.
