Bulgaria's best male player, Grigor Dimitrov, continues to climb in ATP rankings to the 114th position with 497 points.

During the last week, Dimitrov leaped 17 spots ahead in the ranking, a success attributed to his excellent play at the EUR 106,500 ATP Challenger in Orleans, France, to become the second only Bulgarian in history ranked among the top 120.

In the semi-final match on Sunday, Dimitrov beat 7-6, 3-6, 7-5 Michael Llodra of France, ATP rank 32.

In the final on Monday, Dimitrov will face Nicolas Mahut.

After the last game, he will take a short break, and immediately after will take part in the "Challenger" tournament in Germany and the last "Masters 1 000" qualifications in Paris.
