No one wakes up feeling their best 100 percent of the time. It’s inevitable, but locating one’s chi can go a long way. For the three-time Grand Slam semifinalist, breathing exercises and moving the body are vital to starting his day off right. A cup of coffee is “an absolute must,” too, as is interacting with family and getting outside when possible.

“Find your balance early on just for yourself. No phone. That’s my biggest suggestion. No phone.”
Acknowledging self-care has seemingly paid off in more ways than one for Dimitrov. In a 2024 season that is sure to see him nominated for ATP Comeback Player of the Year, Dimitrov is in the running to qualify for Turin at No. 10 in the race coming into this week. He last appeared at the Nitto ATP Finals in 2017, when the Haskovo native lifted the biggest trophy of his career.
