Bulgarian tennis icon Grigor Dimitrov will be hoping to clinch the
2020 European Open title in Antwerp, Belgium.
The 29-year-old player is ranked 19th on the ATP world rankings and his career-high ATP singles ranking is world number three.
Dimitrov achieved his career-high ATP Singles ranking in November 2017 after winning the ATP Finals.

Nicknamed Baby Federer, Dimitrov is the most successful Bulgarian male tennis player to date.
The Haskovo-born player is the only Bulgarian male player to reach the third round or better at a Grand Slam tournament.
Dimitrov has won eight ATP singles titles to date and he will be keen to make it nine by winning this year's European Open.

Just like tennis icon Roger Federer, Dimitrov employs an eastern to semi-western grip on his forehand.
When hitting, unlike most players, he uses his elbow, wrist, and arm to generate power instead of his body.

The three-time Grand Slam semi-finalist has been welcomed to the European Open by tournament Dick Norman, who also praised Kei Nishikori.
“I am also very pleased with the arrival of Grigor Dimitrov aka Baby Federer," Norman said.
"He has already won eight ATP titles, including the ATP World Tour Finals (2017)."
"Kei Nishikori is another well-known name who was in the top 10 in the world for three years with a fourth place as his best ranking."
