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 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.
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. By 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.[5] As of 2025 Wimbledon, he was the male player with the longest active streak and all-time fifth-longest of consecutive Grand Slam appearances, at 58 which ended when he withdrew from the US Open.[6][7][8]
Dimitrov was named Bulgarian Sportsperson of the Year in 2014 and 2017, marking the first and second occasions a tennis player received the honor since the award's inception in 1958. In 2017, he was also awarded the Balkan Athlete of the Year.[9][10][11] In December 2024, he was selected the winner of the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award.[12]
