Grigor Dimitrov has been selected by fellow players as the winner of the 2024 Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award. Part of the ATP Awards, the honour recognises the Bulgarian's fair play, professionalism and integrity on and off the court.

During the 2024 season, Dimitrov posted a 46-18 record according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index and won his ninth tour-level title in Brisbane. The 33-year-old reached three additional finals, at the Miami ATP Masters 1000 and in Marseille and Stockholm. Dimitrov finished the year at No. 10 in the PIF ATP Rankings, his best year-end ranking since he closed the 2017 season at a career high of World No. 3.

"I'm just very grateful, very thankful to all my fans, to all my colleagues, to everyone that has been such a support throughout all this time. I feel very fortunate," Grigor Dimitrov said and promised to keep on striving to be the best.
