Dimitrov recently discussed his love of playing on grass with ATP World Tour Uncovered, as he reflected on his career-best season start to 2017.

Is another deep run at Wimbledon a possiblity this year? Dimitrov certainly believes so.
The world No.11 has been dealt a rough draw, landing in the same quarter as title favourite Roger Federer. But before Dimitrov worries about a potential fourth round meeting with the Swiss champion, he has a tough second round to focus on.

Dimitrov next faces Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis, a Wimbledon semifinalist in 2006. He holds a 7-1 win-loss record against Baghdatis, however his only loss was ominously in the second round of Wimbledon in 2012.
