Grigor Dimitrov's Struggles and Hopes Amid Grand Slams

Despite a career overshadowed by tennis giants, Grigor Dimitrov faces ongoing setbacks in major tournaments. Recently, he retired in the U.S Open quarter-final due to injury. However, he remains optimistic about future challenges and aims to improve and focus on upcoming events.

Grigor Dimitrov's career has been fraught with Grand Slam disappointments. On Tuesday, the Bulgarian tennis star bowed out of his U.S Open quarter-final against Frances Tiafoe, citing a leg injury.

Dimitrov, often overshadowed by the iconic 'Big Three'—Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, and Novak Djokovic—has yet to surpass the semi-final stage in major tournaments. Seeded ninth in New York, the 33-year-old endured a grueling five-set match in the fourth round against Andrey Rublev, which seemed to impact his performance.

Despite the setbacks, Dimitrov expressed a determination to focus on future opportunities, including an exhibition match with Novak Djokovic and competing in Asia. "Time heals," he remarked, reflecting his resilience and resolve to continue pushing through the challenges.
