Bulgarian Minister: Dimitrov Will Become World No 1

Bulgarian Sports Minister Petar Stoychev has congratulated Grigor Dimitrov on his spectacular victory against Novak Djokovic, stating that the youngster has the potential to become world No. 1.

The 21-year-old Bulgarian survived cramping and a squandered match point to oust Djokovic 7-6(6) 6-7(8) 6-3 in the second round of the Madrid Masters.

“The day is not far when Dimitrov will become the world’s best player,” Stoychev told reporters on Wednesday.

“I congratulate Domitrov for the historic victory he achieved yesterday. All the players that have unsuccessfully tried to defeat Djokovic will see Dimitrov in a new light now. They will be afraid of him.”
