Grigor Dimitrov Takes a Break from Tennis to Focus on Family This Winter
Grigor Dimitrov, the Bulgarian tennis star and former world No. 3, has announced he will be stepping away from the professional circuit this winter to spend quality time with his family. After a demanding 2024 season that saw him competing in several high-profile tournaments, Dimitrov has opted to prioritize his personal life during the off-season.
In a statement shared on his social media, Dimitrov expressed his gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support. “Tennis has given me everything, but this winter, I want to focus on something equally important—spending time with my loved ones. The last few years have been a whirlwind, and I feel it’s the right moment to reconnect with my family and recharge for the challenges ahead,” Dimitrov wrote.
The 33-year-old enjoyed a resurgence in form this year, reaching the later stages of several ATP events and demonstrating his signature all-court game. Despite his on-court success, Dimitrov has often spoken about the need for balance between his professional and personal life.
This decision comes as players on the ATP Tour increasingly recognize the importance of mental and physical well-being. Dimitrov’s choice mirrors a growing trend among athletes to prioritize family time during their careers rather than waiting until retirement.
Fans can expect to see Dimitrov back in action for the 2025 season, fully recharged and ready to tackle the ATP calendar. As one of the most stylish and beloved players on tour, his absence will undoubtedly be felt, but supporters have flooded his announcement with messages of encouragement, praising his decision to put family first.
Dimitrov’s break is a reminder that even in the fast-paced world of professional sports, personal connections remain invaluable. Fans eagerly await his return, knowing he’ll bring renewed energy to
the court.
