Grigor Dimitrov

Grigor Dimitrov Dimitrov is a Bulgarian professional tennis player. His careerhigh ATP singles ranking is world No. 8, which he achieved in August 2014, shortly after reaching the semifinals of Wimbledon.

Grigor was born in Haskovo, Bulgaria as the only child of father Dimitar, a tennis coach, and mother Maria, a sports teacher and former volleyball player in 1991. He first held a tennis racket, given to him by his mother, at the age of three, and when he was five he began to play daily. In his early years his father served as his coach, but after the young Bulgarian proved his talent in the tournaments for juniors, he made it clear that he would have to develop in other conditions. At the age of 16, Dimitrov turned professional. In 2007, Dimitrov joined the academy SanchezCasal, where he was further trained under the leadership of Emilio Snchez and Pato lvarez. A year later, Dimitrov moved to Paris, France, where he joined Patrick Mouratoglous Tennis Academy and spent the next four seasons there.
