2018 Men’s Tennis Progress Report

Grigor Dimitrov

Grigor Dimitrov

Grigor Dimitrov had his best ever season in 2017 winning 4 titles including his maiden ATP 1000 title at Cincinnati as well as the ATP Finals. He ended the year as World No. 3. At this time last year, the Bulgarian had won 2 titles however he has reached only one final so far in 2018. More worrying is that he is losing earlier in tournaments than he did last year. Once considered as a future World No. 1 and Grand Slam champion, the 27-year old is rapidly running out of time to make his mark and is now the World No. 6.
