The last Bulgarian player competing in the Wimbledon championships, Iliyan Radulov is to play versus No. 4 seed Cooper Williams, USA, in the junior quarterfinals at 1 PM Bulgarian time on 13 July.

The two 18-year old players have never played against each other. If Radulov wins the match, he stands a chance of repeating Grigor Dimitrov’s junior achievement who won the title at Wimbledon in 2008. Radulov won three matches to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals. His last match was versus No. 28 seed Nicolai Budkov Kjaer, Norway, which he won by 6-3, 6-2.
