Dimitrov after beating Lajovic at Wimbledon
“If I’ve counted correctly this is your 14th Wimbledon. You’re also top 10 again. Is it fair to say you’re aging like fine wine?”
Grigor: “I never tried alcohol so I don’t know, but if you say so, I’m gonna go with that. 😂 Lately I’ve been getting that question a lot. I just wanna set the record straight. It’s not a coincidence. I’ve been there before. You put a lot of work throughout the years. You just never know when you might harvest your work. I’m very grateful where I’m at right now. I’m cherishing every single match I get out there, whether I’m winning or losing. Losing hurts way more than it used to 10 years ago. So I don’t wanna lose 😂. Fighting as much as I can. Doing everything the best I possibly can. I have zero regrets. Whether it’s 33, 35, or 37, who knows if I’m gonna be playing then. If I’m still enjoying it, I’m more than happy to play for myself. But also for you guys. Thank you so much for supporting me throughout the years.” 🥹

“You’ve said you’re a student on grass. How would you rate your performance from 0 to 10?”
Naomi: “I don’t want to rate it. I just say I felt more comfortable today than the day before. Hopefully with every match and practice I’ll continue to get better.”
“Do you have any goals for the grass season?”
Naomi: “Hopefully to win a tournament. That’s a long term project. I just hope I continue to play well and be healthy.” ❤️
