The Bulgarian had hoped to return to competition after withdrawing from the US Open but will have to wait a bit longer.

Grigor Dimitrov will have to postpone his return to competition once again. Injured in the pectoral muscles during his Wimbledon round of 16 match against Jannik Sinner, the Bulgarian, while on the road to recovery, is not yet willing to take any risks and prefers to remain cautious.

Now 34 years old, the world No. 28 has withdrawn from the Shanghai Masters, which begins on October 1st. A semifinalist in China two years ago, Dimitrov will miss the Shanghai tournament for the first time since 2019 (the 2020, 2021, and 2022 editions did not take place due to the health situation).

Following this withdrawal, David Goffin benefits by qualifying for the main draw without having to go through the qualifying rounds. Dimitrov is the fourth player to officially withdraw from the 2025 edition, after Jack Draper, Tommy Paul, and Arthur Fils.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
