Grigor Dimitrov thanks fans after withdrawing from Wimbledon match with Jannik Sinner due to injury
Grigor Dimitrov appears to be in good spirits after his unfortunate exit from Wimbledon on Monday. While en route to upsetting World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the round of 16, up 2-0 in sets, Dimitrov was forced to withdraw from the match with a partial pectoral tear. Four days after the injury, the 34-year-old Bulgarian expressed his gratitude on social media while sharing a snap of him enjoying a meal from his hospital bed. Advertisement "Sometimes the heart wants to keep going … but the universe has a different plan for us," Dimitrov wrote. "Thank you for the overwhelming wave of love — from family, friends, fans, colleagues, to the entire tennis community ... your messages have genuinely lifted me through these hard times. Thank you all. Truly. Recovery starts now. I'll see you all soon." The agonizing exit derailed Dimitrov from achieving his first Grand Slam title. His injury is expected to keep him sidelined for the next three tournaments, including the US Open in late August. Dimitrov stacked wins against Yoshihito Noshioka, Corentin Motet and Sebastian Ofner before leaving the tournament. Advertisement Sinner, who will face Novak Djokovic in the semifinals on Friday, said after the match that, "I don't take this as a win at all." "He is an incredible player, we all saw this today," Sinner said of Dimitrov. "It's been so unlucky in the past couple of years. An incredible player, a good friend of mine — we understand each other very well off the court too. If there would be a chance that he would play in the next round, he would deserve [it]. But now I hope he has a speedy recovery." Dimitrov has won nine ATP singles titles, with his latest coming in 2024 when he defeated Alejandra Tabilo in the Laver Cup.

Forget the tennis finals. At Wimbledon this July, it's pickleball.
WIMBLEDON, England — On Day 4 of Wimbledon, some of the fans who queued up outside the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club to see Novak Djokovic take on Dan Evans might have heard a distinctive thwock thwock thwock coming from the public park next door. It wasn't lawn tennis, or croquet, and it wasn't there a year ago.
