Dimitrov would be looking to better his third round performance at the Indian Wells Masters

After reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals and the Top 10 in 2014, the Bulgarian endured a very disappointing 2015 and his rankings fell drastically. However, Dimitrov showed signs of resurgence in 2016 and returned to the Top 20 by the end of the year.

This year, Dimitrov has been in terrific form so far. He beat the likes of Raonic and Nishikori to win the Brisbane International. This was followed by a second Grand Slam semi-final at the Australian Open where he narrowly lost to Rafael Nadal in five sets.

Dimitrov’s Australian Open performance was followed by another ATP title at the Sofia Open where he beat David Goffin (whom he beat in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open) in the final. Goffin would eventually get the better of Dimitrov at the Rotterdam when he beat the Bulgarian in the quarter-finals of the Rotterdam Open.

Dimitrov is yet to cross the third round at the Indian Wells Masters but the kind of form he has been displaying lately is enough to give the hint that Dimitrov will be more than a match for any opponent in the competition. Known for his all-round game and his athleticism, we would love to see Dimitrov excel well in the tournament and re-enter the Top 10 of the ATP rankings.
