Grigor on the mend
Grigor Dimitrov suffered heartache when he tore his pectoral muscle while leading Jannik Sinner by two sets to love on Monday night.
He collapsed to the turf and retired in tears, barely able to shake hands due to the pain.
And the Bulgarian has now undergone surgery on the muscle.
Taking to Instagram, he wrote: “Sometimes the heart wants to keep going. But the universe has a different plan for us.
“Having to withdraw from this match at Wimbledon was one of the most painful moments of my career.
“Thank you for the overwhelming wave of love – from family, friends, fans, colleagues, to the entire tennis community.
“Your messages have genuinely lifted me through these hard times. Thank you all. Truly.
“Recovery starts now. I’ll see you all soon.”

But while we might get the chance to spot some celebrities arriving at Wimbledon, some of the really high-profile names actually come in via a secret tunnel from the indoor centre over the road.
The likes of Princess Kate, who has arrived on site today, and the players get to avoid the crowds by slipping in undetected.
The underground network also includes a passage to No1 Court and a tennis ball bunker.
Cliff and Katherine among arrivals
This was the moment fan-favourite and tennis lover Sir Cliff Richard rocked up looking dapper as ever for Saturday’s play.
And he did so in a typically flamboyant blazer.
Katherine Jenkins also made her way in, dazzling in a gorgeous purple number.
