Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov has climbed two more notches in the world rankings and is now in 18th position.

He reached the quarterfinals in Vienna and now has 2,260 points, just 5 less than Milos Raonic who is 17th. Grigor Dimitrov is giving the Masters 1000 tournament in Paris this week a miss and will probably close the season if he decides not to take part in the Sofia Open. Dimitrov has not yet applied for participation though the organizers are keeping a “wild card” for him.
