Grigor Dimitrov sends emotional message after 'painful' injury heartbreak at Wimbledon against Jannik Sinner; Aryna Sabalenka's boyfriend reacts

Grigor Dimitrov penned an emotional message for fans days after his heartbreaking withdrawal from Wimbledon against Jannik Sinner. The Bulgarian's girlfriend, Eiza Gonzalez, and Aryna Sabalenka's boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, reacted to it.

Dimitrov took on Sinner in the fourth round of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. Since returning from his doping ban, the Italian is in exceptional form and was the favorite going into this battle.

However, Dimitrov surprised everyone by going two sets to love up. Unfortunately, the 19th seed suffered a pectoral injury in the third set and could not continue. He was distraught and cried because of his condition. This was the fifth consecutive retirement for Dimitrov in a Grand Slam event.

A few days after the heartbreak, Dimitrov reflected on it via a post on Instagram. He shared a carousel of images, including one from the hospital, and penned his thoughts.

"Sometimes the heart wants to keep going… but the universe has a different plan for us. Having to withdraw from this match at Wimbledon was one of the most painful moments of my career," he wrote.

Further, he thanked all his supporters for their love.

"...Thank you all. Truly. Recovery starts now. I’ll see you all soon," he added.

Aryna Sabalenka's boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, commented on the post:

"Will be back stronger than ever brother 💜"
