Etcheverry Sends Dimitrov Out of Top 100 for First Time in 14 Years
At the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters on Tuesday, Argentine Tomas Martin Etcheverry secured a notable victory over Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov with a score of 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 in their second-round match. This defeat marks a significant turning point for Dimitrov, as it brings an end to his remarkable 14-year continuous presence within the ATP Tour's Top 100 rankings—a consistency that has surpassed the entire duration of many professional tennis careers. Consequently, this early exit is projected to cause Dimitrov's ranking to drop by approximately 42 places, placing him around world No. 135, as 190 crucial ranking points from his previous deep run at this event are now lost.
