The best Bulgarian tennis player - Grigor Dimitrov, will not participate in the US Open 2025. The outcome was revealed by his manager Georgi Stoimenov to "Tenniscafe". The reason is related to the recovery after the injury received at Wimbledon. In the tough battle with Yannick Sinner, our compatriot suffered a partial tear of the pectoralis major pectoral muscle.
Last year, Dimitrov reached the quarterfinals in New York, but now he will not be 100% ready and for this reason his health will not be risked. The withdrawal from the US Open also means the end of the incredible series of 58 consecutive participations in the Grand Slam tournaments.
This series began at the Australian Open 2011. From then until Wimbledon 2025, Grigor never missed a Slam tournament. The streak was the longest among active tennis players and remains fifth in the all-time rankings.
Now the hopes are that Dimitrov will return to play for the tournaments in China in late September and early October, as his condition is being actively monitored. |BGNES
