Bulgaria's top male tennis player Grigor Dimitrov, continues to climb ahead in the world ATP list.

After competing in the quarter-final of the prestigious BMW tennis tournament in Munich last week, with a prize fund of USD 450 000, the 19-year-old Bulgarian player, from the southern city of Haskovo, is now 66th in the world.

This is a new record-breaker in Bulgaria's male tennis history.

Dimitrov is taking part this week in the Challenger tournament in the Czech capital of Prague, with a prize fund of EUR 85 000.

Other than that, the ATP rankings remain almost unchanged in exception of Nicolas Almagro from Spain (now 9th) and Gael Monfils from France (10) swapping their spots.

The top three continue to be Rafael Nadal, Spain (1), Novak Djokovic, Serbia (2), and Roger Federer, Switzerland (3).
