Overview

• Tournament officials confirmed on Wednesday that Dimitrov has pulled out of next week’s Shanghai Masters.
• The decision comes days after he announced an amicable split from longtime coach Jamie Delgado via Instagram.
• Dimitrov has not played since retiring at Wimbledon with a right pectoral tear while leading Jannik Sinner by two sets.
• His layoff already included missing Toronto, Cincinnati and the US Open, ending a run of 58 consecutive majors.
• By not defending his 2024 Shanghai points, he forfeits 100 ranking points and is likely to slip outside the ATP top 30.
