Brands That Back Grigor Dimitrov

Grigor Dimitrov is the highest-ranked Bulgarian player in history. He reached a peak ATP ranking of world number 3 in  2017.  Dimitrov is the first Bulgarian man to win an ATP title. He is a former junior world number 1 who won the boy’s title at Wimbledon and at the US Open.

Nicknamed “Baby Fed”, Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov has a powerful game that can unsettle any opponent.
