Carlos Alcaraz said that Grigor Dimitrov made him feel like he was 13 years old in a humbling loss at the 2024 Miami Open as the Bulgarian made the semi-finals in a stunning win.
Dimitrov was told about the comment in his post match press conference and burst out laughing. He simply said: "That's a great comment" in response with a big grin on his face.

"I feel, I have a lot of frustrations right now, because he made me feel like I'm 13 years old. You know, it was crazy. I was talking to my team saying that I don't know what I have to do. I don't know, you know, his weakness. I don't know anything," said Alcaraz in his original press conference. Next up for Dimitrov is a semi-final meeting with Alexander Zverev.
“I think overall to win against him you have to play at your best, that’s just how it is,” Dimitrov said. “I came into the match very focussed and I think [it was] extremely clear what I had to do.
"Sometimes simplicity is genius. It’s very, very hard to do it, especially when you play against an opponent like that, but I was really able to dictate the game, read the game a little bit better than last time. Overall, I think a very great match on my end and I’m just happy I finished in straight sets.”

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
