Grigor Dimitrov Praises Jannik Sinner and Reflects on Miami Open Final Loss
Grigor Dimitrov’s praise for Jannik Sinner after their match in the Miami Open final has generated attention. Dimitrov, who had a successful start to the year with wins at the Australian Open and Rotterdam, referred to Sinner as “the best in the world right now” and expressed admiration for his playing style.
Sinner, who won his first major title at the Australian Open earlier this year and followed it up with victories in Rotterdam and Miami, has been on an impressive run. With his recent success in Florida, he rose to become the world’s second-ranked player before heading into the clay season.
Despite losing to Sinner in straight sets, Dimitrov expressed satisfaction with his own performance and regarded reaching the final as a positive achievement. He also mentioned feeling like a “rockstar” during his successful run at the tournament.
Dimitrov acknowledged that while he believes Sinner is currently one of the best players in tennis, he still feels that previous greats like Roger Federer were more formidable opponents during their peak. Nonetheless, he remains confident in his ability to compete with today’s generation of players.
Looking ahead, both Dimitrov and Sinner are preparing for upcoming tournaments such as the Monte-Carlo Masters before setting their sights on the French Open.
