After nearly four months away, it seems that everything remains the same for a Grigor Dimitrov who has returned even stronger than when he left. The Bulgarian player, now ranked 38th in the world, made a strong comeback at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025 with a solid two-set victory over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.

Following the hard blow of that injury that halted him while leading by two sets to zero against Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, Grigor Dimitrov resumed circuit activity at the end of the season in the Masters 1000 in Paris, aiming to gain momentum for the upcoming year.

"I am very happy to be back; I had a great time this summer. That's all I can say about it; it has been an incredible way to disconnect," began Grigor Dimitrov about his circuit return at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025, as reported by Ziggo Sports.

"After so many years on the circuit, I feel that this break has given me new energy, new emotions, and, of course, new challenges. This is how I want to approach it. Obviously, it was very unfortunate; I was very unlucky with the injury. What happened was tremendously uncertain for me," recalled the Bulgarian player about that tough moment when he injured his pectoral area during his match with Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon last July.

"I had doubts about whether I could return to playing at the level I want to display, but now I am super happy to be back and eager to test myself and see approximately where I stand. My main goal is the start of the next season, so I am also trying to be responsible with my body and what I need to do."

After successfully completing his first round, Grigor Dimitrov will face the winner of the match between Jaume Munar and Daniil Medvedev in the second round of the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025.
