Mini bio
How it started.
Grigor grew up in Haskovo, Bulgaria, and began playing tennis with his father, Dimitar, a tennis coach. His mother, Maria, is a former volleyball player. In 2008 he won the boys’ singles titles at Wimbledon and the US Open, the same year he turned professional.
Finding his place.
His first ATP Tour title came in Stockholm in 2013. He went on to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals in 2014, the Australian Open semi-finals in 2017 and the US Open semi-finals in 2019. His one-handed backhand remains a familiar part of his game.
The season that changed things.
In 2017 he won his first Masters 1000 title in Cincinnati, then went unbeaten through five matches to win the ATP Finals on his debut. He finished the season at a career-high world No. 3.
Still finding a way.
He ended a six-year title drought in Brisbane in 2024 and received that year’s Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award. A pectoral injury interrupted his 2025 Wimbledon run, but he returned to Centre Court in 2026 and beat Matteo Berrettini in five sets to reach the fourth round.
