Due to a thigh injury, Grigor Dimitrov had to miss his 2025 French Open match against Ethan Quinn, an American qualifier. Quinn (6-2, 6-3, 2-6, 0-0) benefited from Dimitrov’s retirement and will face Kazakh fortunate loser Alexander Shevchenko in the upcoming round.

But because the Bulgarian had to withdraw in the middle of four Grand Slam tournaments, there is a major hole in Paris. Given that Cerúndolo lost and wound up in this section, the German can consider himself fortunate to have been a potential opponent in the round of 16 against Zverev.
After losing to Jannik Sinner at the Miami Open last March, Dimitrov made a comeback to the top 10. However, since then, the former World No. 3’s physical conditioning has suffered due to bad luck.
In the first round of the 2025 Australian Open, the first round of the 2025 French Open, the fourth round of the 2024 Wimbledon, and the quarterfinals of the 2024 US Open, the 34-year-old declared his retirement due to a number of maladies.
