Bulgaria’s highest ranked tennis player Grigor Dimitrov finished the 2024 season at No. 10, as the rankings were updated on Monday after the last ATP tournament of the year. The only other time in his career when he placed in top 10 at the end of a season was in 2017 when he won the Nitto ATP Finals and reached his career high ranking of No. 3.
When it comes to prize money won in 2024, Dimitrov was 11th with USD 3,186,056.
The Bulgarian finished a season in top 20 in eight out of his seventeen years in the Tour. Out of the active players in the ATP, only Novak Djokovic has achieved this more times – 19.
