Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov led 2-0 in sets of World Ceros Jannik sides in the 4th round match in Wimbledon. Suddenly he had to withdraw with injury.
Dimitrov adhered to the arm after a serve at the position 2–2 in the third set. He had to sit down on the grass, obviously in great pain.
Sinner ran over to Dimitrov, who received medical supervision, but hardly seemed to be able to lift his arm. After a short time, it became clear that he was unlucky to continue and left Wimbledon in tears.
“It’s one of the saddest things I’ve seen on the tennis court,” Discovery commentator Christer Francke said, while legend Roger Federer looked so shocked in the stands.
– I don’t know what to say, because he’s an incredible player and we all got to see it today. He has been so unlucky in the previous years. He is an incredible player and a good friend of mine. To see him in this position … He would deserve to play the next round, summed up.
Until Dimitrov, Dimitrov had played against Sinner and won 6-2 and 7-5 in the first two sets. The man who is ranked number 21 in the world saw a proper scalp. The veteran’s best performance in Wimbledon was the semi -finals eleven years ago.
- In the quarterfinals, Jannik will be meeting American Ben Shelton.
- Novak Djokovic earlier Monday to the quarterfinals with victory over Alex de Minaur and meets Italian Flavio Cobolli in the quarterfinals.
- The other two: Cameron Norrie meets Carlos Alcaraz, while Karen Khanchanov is going up against Taylor Fritz
