Georgi Stoimenov manager Grigor Dimitrov, issued a statement about the latest developments about our first rocket. Stoimenov called "planned hysteria" about the events in the non-participation of Grigor playoff against Hungary Cup "Davis."
Here's what it said Manager:
"We are seeing a planned hysteria about the team's decision Grigor Dimitrov not to participate in the match for the" Davis Cup ", which aims to distract from the real problem - the fact that Bulgarian tennis is in a deplorable condition and Bulgarian Federation Tennis no structured and building management. As far as I'm closely connected with management of the career of the most successful Bulgarian tennis player and my life is permanently connected with the sport, I feel obliged to say a few words.
First, Grigor Dimitrov decision not to participate in this game:
Grigor is world class athlete in a heavy competitive sport and it's demanding, very obliging and brings with it many responsibilities. It is precisely because of such years working professionally with a team of specialists, as its activity is planned and the decisions taken are subordinated to the goals that he and his team have set.
That captain (and the Chairman of BTF) can not understand why Grigor not participate in this game does not surprise us. If they could not understand what Bulgarian tennis would not be at this level.
I find it extremely dishonest all the problems of Bulgarian tennis to throw on Grigor. Is not it a paradox indeed, the best, the one that has made the most and the most effective effort to be responsible for many people in the chain who for years did not do the work for which they are elected, and they receive funding from the state?
Before you landed on their adversity foreign heads will be worthwhile if the leaders of the Bulgarian tennis an analysis of the decisions taken by the team captain in this match, the overall state of tennis in Bulgaria and the real reasons for the state we are in. I would appreciate and journalists who write about tennis, to ask these questions and make their own assessment.
Instead, the entire concentration is in the direction of why Grigor not participate in this match.Proper attitude and culture required to respect the decision of Grigor because probably it is well thought out. It is clear that if Bulgaria was ranked in the first group of Euro-African zone tennis in Bulgaria would not be at a good level. The total concentration of attention on its non-participation is an attempt by BTF to conceal their own bankruptcy. Grigor not to blame for the state of Bulgarian tennis.
For patriotism:
To hurl the true debate in the direction of patriotism "wholesale" is not the most honorable occupation. For Grigor - it is not true. Dimitrov played for Bulgaria in every match. That Grigor played for Bulgaria Davis Cup in Luxembourg to represent Bulgaria at the Olympic Games in Brazil is very good, not bad.
That is the first Bulgarian athlete qualifying for the Olympics must be upheld. At these Olympic Games he will represent Bulgaria in particular.
"Grigor Dimitrov (Bulgaria)" is an emblem that bears Grigor flag that flutters around the world constantly. For this to be even more successful, requires sacrifices, sometimes including non-participation in the Davis Cup. We have much more responsible decisions before us. Tough times require tough decisions, "the statement said Georgi Stoimenov to BTA.
