SOFIA: Bulgarian world number four Grigor Dimitrov said he would not defend his title at next week’s Sofia Open as he has failed to recover from a shoulder injury. “I and my team had to take one of the most difficult decisions — to skip this year’s edition,” Dimitrov said in a statement Saturday. “Earlier today I had my last medical consultation. Unfortunately I will not be at 100 percent ready for next week. If I play it would lead to additional risks and complications.” Local favourite Dimitrov will be replaced by Swiss Stan Wawrinka, who is trying to resurrect his career after suffering a knee injury. “On back of disappointing news of Dimitrov injury, Wawrinka will play Sofia Open,” tournament director Paul McNamee said.
