Grigor Dimitrov aims for a fresh start with a new coaching ally.

The 34-year-old Dimitrov announced today he has split with long-time coach Jaime Delgado, who previously coached Andy Murray.

“After a few years and great achievements together Jaime Delgado and I have decided to part ways amicably,” Dimitrov posted on his Instagram Stories today. “I wish him the best in his future endeavors.

“I’m excited to start fresh after this time I’ve dedicated fully to my recovery. I’m looking forward to coming back to play soon.”

Last month, Dimitrov withdrew from the US Open as he continues recovery from a partial rupture of his pectoral muscle he suffered while leading world No. 1 Jannik Sinner 6-3, 7-5, 2-2 in the Wimbledon round of 16 in July.

The withdrawal ended Dimitrov’s remarkable run of 58 consecutive Grand Slam appearances that dates back to the 2011 Australian Open. Dimitrov held the longest streak of consecutive Slams played among active men and the fifth longest streak in Open Era history. Mutua Madrid Open tournament director and Dimitrov friend Feliciano Lopez owns the longest streak with 79 consecutive Grand Slams in a row. That streak ended in 2022.

Dimitrov, who won the 2008 Wimbledon boys and US Open boys’ championships in succession, reached the Flushing Meadows quarterfinals in 2024 bowing to Frances Tiafoe.

A 2019 US Open semifinalist, Dimitrov has contested semifinals at three of the four Grand Slam tournaments, including the 2014 Wimbledon and 2017 Australian Open.
