During their relationship, Dimitrov surprised one and all with his surprising claim.

Often called ‘Baby Federer’ due to similarities in his playing style with Roger Federer, the Bulgarian tennis star has had big shoes to fill. However, he has failed to win a Grand Slam tournament, with semifinal appearances being his best finish at major tournaments.
