Dimitrov suffered a serious injury. |
On his way to the fourth round of Wimbledon 2025, Jannik Sinner did not lose a set and won very easily. The Italian tennis player faced No. 19 seed Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round, an opponent who had suffered 4 consecutive defeats against Sinner since 2023. However, Sinner encountered many difficulties despite being considered superior to the tennis player born in 1991. Only "luck" helped the No. 1 seed of the tournament escape the "death door".
Dimitrov started the first set strongly and won 6-3. The Bulgarian showed his "lightning" serving ability with 6 aces. His tricky returns and impressive slices prevent Sinner from being able to attack. Dimitrov broke Sinner's first serve game and maintained his advantage to win.
Entering the second set, Dimitrov maintained his impressive form in today's match. The Bulgarian player made many high-quality shots. He broke Sinner's first serve and maintained his lead until the end of the ninth game. Sinner showed his mettle when he reclaimed Dimitrov's serve to level the score at 5-5. But Sinner's joy did not last long, he immediately lost the 11th game. This time Dimitrov made no mistake in the serve game to end the set, his powerful serves helped him win 7-5.
With the score in the third set at 2-2, Dimitrov decided to retire due to a chest injury. This is the 5th consecutive time since Wimbledon 2024 that the Bulgarian player has retired from a Grand Slam tournament. With this lucky victory, Jannik Sinner has reached the quarterfinals of the tournament for the 4th consecutive time. Sinner's next opponent is 10th seed Ben Shelton.
In his post-match interview, Sinner sent Dimitrov his best wishes: "Honestly, I don't know what to say... Grigor is an extraordinary player, we saw that today. He deserves to play in the next round. I wish him a speedy recovery. I feel like I didn't deserve this victory.
He's had injuries in the last few Grand Slams, which has been really tough. We know how much he cares about the sport .
Thank you everyone for coming to this stadium today, this is not the ending we expected.
Let's wish him all the best and give him a round of applause."
