Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire through injury when he was in a golden position to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals after hurting his pectoral muscle against Jannik Sinner

Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire from his Wimbledon fourth-round clash with Jannik Sinner on Monday after suffering a partial tear of his pectoral muscle

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.

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.
