Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner has disclosed that he was so fortunate to overcome Grigor Dimitrov at the tournament.
Before winning his fourth Grand Slam title, Sinner survived a scare in the Round of 16 against Dimitrov, who retired due to a pectoral tear after being up two sets.
Dimitrov led 6-3, 7-5, 2-2 when he grabbed his right shoulder and started crying. He received a medical timeout outside the court and returned only to announce his retirement and experience the most heartbreaking moment of his career.

In a chat with Tennis World, Sinner stated that he was extremely lucky against the Bulgarian tennis star.
“I got lucky against Grigor, but I took it as a sign. You never know what can happen, and that’s how it is in tennis. You have to try to understand why and how certain things happen.
After that match, I stepped up my game and played at a high level in the remaining three rounds,” Jannik Sinner said.
