Bulgaria's highest ranked tennis player Grigor Dimitrov suffered a 2-6 3-6 defeat against world No. 21 Karen Khachanov at the quarterfinals of the Paris Masters on Friday. This result means that the Bulgarian lost his chances to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin later in November, where the eight players with most ranking points won in 2023 will compete. 

Dimitrov faced health issues earlier in the week and was far from his best during Friday's match.

After a slow start, the Bulgarian performed better in the early stages of the second set but at 3-3 his energy levels dropped and a series of unforced errors led to Khachanov's victory.
