Season 2024 for the best Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov has officially ended. The world No. 10 remained an unused reserve at the ATP Finals after never having to feature in the group stage of the final tournament in Turin.
The 33-year-old from Haskovo arrived in the Italian city as the highest-ranked competitor out of the eight participants. Together with the second reserve Stephanos Tsitsipas (No. 11 in the ranking), he had to be ready to participate in the competition at the “Inalpi Arena” in case of an injury or other physical ailment of one of his colleagues.
Our first racket was even put on full alert on Wednesday when #3 Carlos Alcaraz was on the verge of retiring due to breathing difficulties due to a viral illness. However, the Spaniard got fit in time for his second match of the “John Newcomb” group and even defeated the Russian Andrey Rublev 6:3, 7:6 (8), keeping a chance to qualify for the 1/2-finals.
Today, Zverev – Fritz and Siner – Ruud will fight for a place in Sunday’s final. The matches are from 15:30 and 21:30 our time, respectively. In Bulgaria, the tournament is broadcast on the paid TV channel “Max Sport 1”.
