Dimitrov, Cilic qualify for ATP Finals

Grigor Dimitrov and Marin Cilic will add some much-needed star power to the ATP Finals, set for 12-19 November in London.

With seven of the world’s top 20 men having already shut down their 2017 seasons, the popular Dimitrov and Grand Slam champion Cilic will ensure the season-ending event gets a boost.

They join Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem in the eight-player field.

Two more spots are left to be determined, with an intriguing battle for seventh and eighth unfolding in the last few weeks of the season.

Dimitrov, in his 10th season as a pro, is the first Bulgarian to feature at the tournament.

In 2017, he’s won three titles – the biggest being his first ever ATP Masters title in Cincinnati – as well as reaching the Australian Open semifinals.

Cilic, meanwhile, is becoming an ATP Finals staple.

“Another amazing achievement for me. Third time in four years to make it to London,” he said.

“That was one of my goals at the beginning of the season with my team and I’m glad that we have accomplished it.”

Cilic, who won the Istanbul title for his lone ATP trophy of the year, also reached the finals at Wimbledon and Queen’s.
