Dimitrov is the lowest-ranked grand slam semi-finalist since Germany’s Rainer Schüttler, then 94th in the world, reached the last four at
Wimbledon in 2008. 8.56pm BST
Dimitrov says:
Despite the fact I was losing very tough matches, close matches against players that I shouldn’t lose [to], yet I did, I kept on believing in the process, kept on working, kept on trying to improve whatever else I had to improve. I really controlled the things I could. Sometimes the most simple things are hardest. It was not a pretty time. I’m not going to lie.
It was that low that I don’t even want to go there any more. It was just obviously injury, losing points, ranking. That’s the lowest point of any player.
