In these hours Grigor Dimitrov has given an interesting interview to Tennis Australia, taking stock of the situation regarding his career.
The Bulgarian tennis player, professionally reborn in recent months, explained how he is now able to appreciate everything that happens to him or that surrounds him and that also concerns his career.
“I think at this stage of my career I appreciate everything that happens to me and surrounds me, not only in tennis but also in life,” he told.

Grigor talked about the difference in the transition from the Big 3 to young talents like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, offering an honest analysis on this generational change.
“It’s very interesting to see three different eras in which I played and players at the beginning or end of their careers. From this point of view I can say that I find myself in a unique and fortunate position. I’ve understood one thing, we just have that particular moment and that’s it, I was ATP No.3 and it was fantastic but now I have a different mission or rather a different goal, I am conquering little things step by step and I know that in the end things will go the right way,” he told.
On the relationship with coach Daniel Vallverdu, Dimitrov explained: “The discipline, the hard work and all the dedication. You have to be able to do all this with continuity and carry on like this. In the last few months it has been tough, I have suffered bad defeats but I have continued to believe.”

The rebirth of Grigor Dimitrov
Dimitrov has always been considered one of the purest talents of modern tennis but has often had phases of discontinuity and a career with alternating phases. Now, after the age of 30, Grigor seems to have found definitive maturity. Just consider how in 2024 he is achieving excellent goals.
The victory of a title that had been missing for years and achieved in Brisbane, without considering the final then lost against Jannik Sinner in Miami. Thanks to these results, the Bulgarian tennis player is back in the Top-10 and is in full swing to become one of the 8 tennis players who will participate in the ATP Finals in Turin at the end of the season – Dimitrov is currently 7th in the Race -.
