Dimitrov beats Mensik to extend emotional Wimbledon return


Grigor Dimitrov beat 15th seed Jakub Mensik to keep his emotional Wimbledon comeback alive and reach the third round. The Bulgarian had returned to SW19 exactly a year after injury forced him to retire in the round of 16, making this run a clear recovery story as well as a result. The practical impact is that Dimitrov is now moving deeper into the draw with renewed momentum after a painful exit last year. He described the crowd’s energy as a major part of the experience, underlining how much this return meant to him.
