Grigor Dimitrov overcame Matteo Berrettini in a gripping five-set contest to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon 2026. The Bulgarian wild card bounced back from last year's injury heartbreak and will next face fellow wild card Arthur Fery for a quarter-final berth.
The Spaniard, who dropped just six games in each of his first two matches, delivered a standout performance of the tournament under the windy evening conditions on Stadium 1. Alcaraz's exceptional athleticism prevented Dimitrov from breaking through his defense in an entertaining match.
Grigor Dimitrov, the 33-year-old Bulgarian, quickly took control of the match, winning the first game without conceding a point to No. 62-ranked Hijikata. He claimed the opening game in just three minutes, setting a fast pace. Dimitrov's deep shots kept Hijikata at the baseline, giving him few chances to approach the net.
