Wimbledon history! Dimitrov ties this Open Era record…
History has been made at The Championships and only two rounds have been played.
With Grigor Dimitrov’s 5-7, 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 victory against Shang Juncheng, there have already been nine comebacks from two sets down this week. That equals the Open Era record for most comebacks from two sets down in a single edition of Wimbledon, tying 1974, 1990 and 1997.
“I kept on believing in myself, in my body, in my fitness, and everything that I have put in throughout these past months,” Dimitrov said.
[ATP APP]Eight of the nine two-set comebacks happened in the first round of the tournament. Dimitrov’s victory was the first in the second round.
“I don’t think about it because it’s the first week of the Slam, so you’re looking after your own lane right now. You want to kind of go through this momentum and whatever match you have in front of you,” Dimitrov said. “I for one don’t think about it. Even today when I was two sets down, I was just trying to focus on what I had to do in front of me. As I said, it’s very difficult.”
