Dimitrov opens up: 'The last year has been very hard'

Grigor Dimitrov hid nothing after his Wimbledon third-round win. The Bulgarian tennis player has openly admitted that the last twelve months have been psychological hell, casting a harsh light on the invisible pressures of the ATP Tour. The confession came immediately after the match won against Jiří Lehečka on the pitches of the All England Club, a stage that amplifies every emotion.

Dimitrov dug deep into his recent tribulations, describing a period in which sporting competition was just the tip of the iceberg of a much more complex internal battle. It wasn't simply a question of physical fitness or physical , but of a precarious mental management that put his career and his emotional stability to the test, forcing him to question his own foundations. The ATP Tour doesn't forgive anyone, not even veterans with a textbook one-handed backhand.
