Grigor Dimitrov’s journey at Wimbledon 2025 may have ended in heartbreak, but the Bulgarian tennis star continues to find strength in the unwavering support of his partner, Eiza González. After being forced to retire during the third set of his Round of 16 match against world number one Jannik Sinner, Dimitrov’s emotional departure resonated deeply across the tennis world. He had taken an early lead with two dominant sets, appearing poised for a major upset, only to be stopped by a painful right pectoral injury that has been troubling him throughout the year. As he walked off the court, the disappointment was palpable, yet what followed was a wave of compassion and encouragement, led most tenderly by Eiza.
Eiza González, known for her acting career and now also for her heartfelt devotion, took to Instagram to share a message of resilience and pride. She called Dimitrov the love of her life and expressed that this difficult moment is only a temporary stop in what she believes will be an extraordinary comeback story. Her words—calling him “beyond outstanding” and “a winner”—were not just a romantic gesture but a powerful reminder of the strength love can lend in moments of public defeat. She affirmed that the loss did not define him, and instead, the world witnessed who he truly is: a competitor with heart, dignity, and an unbreakable spirit.
Their relationship, which became public in May after weeks of speculation, has since become a visible pillar of emotional support for Dimitrov. Eiza has been spotted courtside during several of his matches this season, and their bond has grown stronger with every appearance. In light of his fifth injury-induced exit in less than a year, her presence and encouragement appear more crucial than ever as he navigates the physical and emotional toll of professional sports.
Meanwhile, his opponent Jannik Sinner offered kind words, wishing Dimitrov a swift recovery. The Italian ace is preparing for a high-stakes quarterfinal against American Ben Shelton, while the looming threats of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz continue to shape the path to the finals. For Dimitrov, the path is different for now—one of rest, healing, and preparation. But with Eiza by his side and the global tennis community behind him, his return to the court will undoubtedly be a testament to resilience and love.
