Jannik Sinner says he cannot accept his progress to the Wimbledon quarter-finals "as a win" following Grigor Dimitrov's injury heartbreak.

Grigor Dimitrov heartbreakingly retired from his Round of 16 Wimbledon match vs. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner due to injuring a pectoral muscle on a volley during the third set. Dimitrov held a 2–0 lead through two sets against Sinner.

Dimitrov was playing fantastic tennis, running Sinner around the court and delivering booming serves. Dimitrov won the first set 6-3 and survived a hard-charging comeback attempt from the Italian in the second to take the set 7-5 and put the world No. 1 in a desperate position.
