16-year-old Ivan Ivanov conquers Wimbledon like Grigor Dimitrov

It took the Bulgarian less than an hour to defeat the sensation Ronit Karki

Bulgaria has its own Wimbledon champion again! 17 years after the triumph of Grigor Dimitrov - 16-year-old Ivan Ivanov also managed to win on the "sacred grass". He did not encounter any problems in the final with the sensation Ronit Karki.

The Bulgarian managed to close the match in less than an hour with 6:2, 6:3!

Ivanov ordered six consecutive victories for the dream success. The remarkable thing about Ivan's series was that throughout the entire time he did not give a single set to his rivals. The American managed not to give a set to his opponent in only one of the matches.

This was the first final for Bulgaria in the junior singles in 17 years. In 2008, Grigor Dimitrov won Wimbledon and the US Open. The moment could have been even more remarkable if Alexander Vassilev had eliminated Karki in the semifinals.

Ivanov is also the sixth Bulgarian player to win a Grand Slam title at the junior level. In addition to Grigor Dimitrov, the three Maleevi sisters and Cecil Karatancheva also have such distinctions.

Today's final was also Ivanov's first at a junior Grand Slam tournament. His previous best achievement was the semifinals at Roland Garros a few weeks ago. The other big news is expected to come on Monday, when Ivanov will top the junior world rankings when they are next updated. |BGNES
