Grigor Dimitrov completed a remarkable Wimbledon comeback by defeating former finalist Matteo Berrettini in a five-set thriller, one year after a heartbreaking injury ended his dream run. In 2025, the Bulgarian led eventual champion Jannik Sinner by two sets before tearing his pectoral muscle, forcing an emotional retirement and missing the US Open. His struggles continued this season, leaving him ranked 146 and needing a wildcard for Wimbledon after winning just four ATP matches in 2026. However, Dimitrov has rediscovered his best on grass, beating Dane Sweeny, 15th seed Jakub Mensik and Berrettini. He now faces Britain's Arthur Fery in the Round of 16, eyeing a quarter-final berth.
