develop, but this is special. I realize it will not be easy to defend
his title, but I'm glad that I had a chance to try to do it. "
Last season tournament spread from clay to hard courts and Dimitrov won
his first edition of this surface with a great series of victories over
Marinko Matoshevich, Marcos Baghdatis, Ernests Gulbis and Andy Murray

the final. This week the champion will begin with 101 th in the world Serb Filip Krainovich.
"I've played against him when we were teenagers, but then we met. I know it will be tough opponent. The victory here last
season helped me to develop a lot and do a jump from Top 30 to Top 10.
Become a better player on the court and a better person out of it. This
year, every step forward will be more difficult and therefore I will
match to match. Everyone is struggling to show your best tennis and I do
not want to set goals for the season.
Here the climate is hot and humid, making conditions quite difficult to play. Not everyone likes to go out on the court in such heat, but I feel comfortable and I feel that I can do really well. My level is good and I can not wait to start the tournament. "
This time Grigor arrived in Acapulco with your favorite Maria Sharapova, who will participate in the tournament for women.
"Of course, I recommended it to come to Mexico . It is always good beach is a few meters from the hotel you
while you're in a tournament (laughs). The Mexican fans are amazing,
some of the -plamennite fans that I have met. To go out on Centre Court
and feel this great support unique feeling and I hope not to disappoint
anyone with my game. "
Despite the competitive field, Dimitrov felt good about his chances in
Acapulco. “It’s not easy conditions,” said the World No. 10. “It’s very
warm and humid, so not everyone likes that. I pride myself on conditions
like that. I really feel that I can do well.”
