The 24-year-old Bulgarian is 26th in the Emirates ATP Rankings, the lowest he’s been since he entered the 2013 If Stockholm Open at No. 28. Dimitrov went on to defeat World No. 3 David Ferrer for the title, then repeated his run to the championship match in 2014 (l. to No. 7 Tomas Berdych). Just 11-11 since May 7, Dimitrov has yet to reach an ATP World Tour final this season. He opens his campaign against former junior rival Filip Krajinovic in the last match on Tuesday’s schedule. The winner of Dimitrov vs. Krajinovic will face either Finnish wild card Jarkko Nieminen or Daniel Muñoz-de la Nava, who also meet on Tuesday. With Mikael Ymer’s loss on Monday, Nieminen is the lone Scandinavian player left in what happens to be the last tournament of his career. The 34- year-old left-hander is retiring at the conclusion of the If Stockholm Open, where he reached the singles final in 2001, 2006 and 2011, as well as the doubles final with Johan Brunström of Sweden in 2010.

First up on Centre Court at the Kungliga Tennishallen, Swedish brothers Elias and Mikael Ymer face No. 4 seeds Mate Pavic and Michael Venus for the doubles title. It has been an impressive team debut for Elias, aged 20, and 18-year-old Mikael, playing his first ATP tour-level doubles event the same week he registered his first tour-level singles win over Fernando Verdasco in the first round. The duo saved three match points to beat No. 3 seeds Marcin Matkowski and Jean-Julien Rojer in the first round and ousted No. 2 seeds Rohan Bopanna and Treat Huey in the semi-finals to become the third brothers to reach a doubles final in 2016 (also Alexander/Mischa Zverev and Bob/Mike Bryan). Pavic and Venus denied the Zverev brothers victory in the Montpellier final and are chasing their fifth title of 2016 (also Auckland, Marseille and s-Hertogenbosch).
