Grigor Dimitrov has gone through some tumultuous times in his career. There was a time when he was touted as the next big thing. In fact, he was supposed to break the glass ceiling set up by the Big 3.

However, somewhere down the line, things went awry for the former World No 3. Injuries and poor form took away the sheen and stylish play that he once so proudly flaunted.

However, a comeback seems to be on the horizon for the Bulgarian. In fact, a stable attitude is what is needed among the storm that life becomes at times. For Dimitrov, there is someone who offers the example.

What did Grigor Dimitrov say? 

Here’s what Dimitrov had to say about the idealistic behaviour of his mother –

Oh, my mum,by far! My mum,she’s the one and only. Why does she inspire me? My mum inspires me a lot because…obviously I’ve known her all my life,and she’s never…I’ve never seen her going through a mood swing, or anything like that. She’s always so strong- probably all the mums are like this. It’s so nice to just have somebody that I’m able to call mum, who you can not only lean on,but have as a friend.”
