Grigor's mental recovery will be harder than the physical one

The first opinions are already coming from within Grigor Dimitrov's team after the cruel withdrawal the Bulgarian had to face a few days ago at Wimbledon 2025. It is hard to forget that moment when, on the verge of defeating the world's best tennis player, an injury deprives you of continuing to compete. Many emotions, mostly negative, that Jamie Delgado tried to verbalize in these statements collected by Eurosport.

“We are completely devastated, disappointed, and inconsolable. Grigor had made a tremendous effort to play a top-level match against the world No. 1 in his favorite tournament. He followed the tactical plan from the previous day perfectly, but what happened was truly painful. Against Sinner, it was one of the best matches of his career, and the entire team was convinced he could win. Looking ahead, Grigor's emotional and mental recovery will undoubtedly be more challenging than his physical recovery; tough months await us,” the Briton commented.
