Tragic Loss: Grigor Dimitrov and Girlfriend involved in car crash that Leads to…..

Grigor Dimitrov lost his cool and confronted a fan after his third-round win at the 2024 Shanghai Masters.

The incident occurred when the Bulgarian was surrounded by a large crowd on his way out of the stadium.

Dimitrov faced Alexei Popyrin in the third round of the 2024 Shanghai Masters on October 8.

The Bulgarian was strong behind his serve throughout the match, winning 95% of points on the first serve and not facing a single breakpoint.

He took the one-set advantage via a tiebreaker and broke the 20th-seeded Australian two times early in the second set en route to a 7-6(5), 6-2 win.

After recording his 40th win of the year, Grigor Dimitrov found himself in a bit of controversy as he nearly came to blows with a fan while leaving the stadium.

Viral clips on social media show the Bulgarian swarmed by a large crowd outside the stadium, with many fans trying to get a photograph and an autograph from him.

Meanwhile, Dimitrov, the ninth seed, came out on top in a three-set affair against Zizou Bergs in the second round before his straight-sets victory over reigning Canadian Open champion Alexei Popyrin.

The Bulgarian veteran reached the semifinals at the Shanghai Masters last year after beating the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Nicolas Jarry.

A good showing at the 2024 Shanghai Masters is crucial for Grigor Dimitrov’s chances of qualifying for the year-end championship in Turin.

Dimitrov is currently placed 10th in the race to Turin ranking and needs to jump at least two spots to qualify.

In his only previous appearance at the ATP Finals in 2017, Dimitrov won the title, beating David Goffin in the final.
