Tennis sensation Grigor Dimitrov has retired from his French Open 2025 opening-round clash against Ethan Quinn. The Bulgarian star has retired from his game against the American qualifier due to his thigh injury. The star player's retirement has allowed Quinn to storm into the second round, where he will play against lucky loser Alexander Shevchenko. He has a great chance to topple the Kazakh star to place in the third round of the prestigious tournament.
The 34-year-old tennis star has returned to the top 10 after losing against Jannik Sinner in the Miami Open 2025 earlier this year. However, his physical health seems to be deteriorating. The fans were extremely disappointed after seeing their favorite ATP star once again pull out of the tournament.
Grigor Dimitrov's injury woes in Grand Slams!
The star player has retired from the Australian Open 2025 due to an injury earlier this year in the first round itself, ahead of the French Open retirement. He has also retired from the Wimbledon 2024 fourth round and the US Open 2024 quarter-finals due to physical challenges.
Tennis star Dimitrov had a great start to the tournament as he smacked powerful shots in the first set to take the lead. He continued his stellar form in the next set, winning it as well, and was just one set away from storming to the second round. However, he had to abandon the third set due to a thigh injury. His withdrawal has allowed the American opponent to storm into the second round by giving up at 6-2, 6-3, 2-6.
This is how fans have reacted to his French Open 2025 withdrawal
