Grigor Dimitrov wishes to start a family in the future

The former Wimbledon semifinalist stated, “So aside from tennis, having family in the future is hopefully on the cards as well as working on other things that I’ve always wanted to do. Then one day, when it’s time to say goodbye to one thing, I’ll be ready for the other one with open arms and excited for the next chapter in my life.”

The Bulgarian ace set up his foundation recently and indicated that it would play a big role in helping the less fortunate people back home. His mother is the director of the foundation. At the moment, he is structuring a plan and would like to cover various issues and not just a single one.

The 29-year-old player added, “She thinks differently from anyone I’ve ever met in my whole life, and I think it’s because of her that I’ve always thought outside the box… We are still structuring those final pieces and it’s taking a little bit of time because I want us to cover a broad spectrum and not just focus on one certain thing.”

Recently, Grigor competed at the Australian Open and lost in the quarterfinal. His next stop will be in Miami, to play at the first Masters 1000 event of the season. With the absence of a number of players, he will want to capitalize on the opportunity to win big.
