Fans have long waited for 26-year-old Grigor Dimitrov to battle for the biggest titles in the sport. In 2017, he blew past his old career-high of No. 8 to No. 3 in the world rankings. Finally it seems that the Bulgarian has arrived as a major contender after capping off a furious finish to his best career season by far.
In January, Dimitrov won his first of four titles in Brisbane with strong wins over Dominic Thiem, Milos Raonic and Kei Nishikori.
