Dimitrov most recently retired from the first round of the French Open with a thigh injury while holding a 6-2, 6-3, 2-6 lead over American Ethan Quinn. He retired from Wimbledon in the fourth round in 2024 with an abductor tear. He trailed Daniil Medvedev, 5-3, in the first set at the time of that injury.

It turns out that Sinner was fine, and he dominated Ben Shelton in the quarterfinals, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4, meaning the only sets he’s lost at Wimbledon were the two against Dimitrov. He now sets his sights on Novak Djokovic in Friday’s semifinal.
