Jannik Sinner has said he doesn’t count it “as a win” after Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire injured during their Wimbledon fourth-round match. No. 19 seed Dimitrov has now retired mid-match at the last five Grand Slam tournaments. The Bulgarian took a 6-3 7-5 lead over the world No. 1 and was on course to cause a huge upset when he suddenly injured his pec in the third set.
Dimitrov had a game point at 1-2 and hit a serve, immediately grabbing his pectoral muscle. The ball went past a concerned Sinner and it went down as an ace, levelling the score at 2-2. But the 34-year-old dropped to the ground in paid, crying out as his opponent and the physio rushed over.
