LONDON (Reuters) -Top seed Jannik Sinner breathed a sigh of relief after reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Monday but was left feeling sorry for Grigor Dimitrov who retired from their match with a pectoral injury after dominating throughout and going up 6-3 7-5 2-2.

Dimitrov, the 19th seed, won the opening two sets and held serve with an ace in the third but then fell to the ground, saying: "my pec, my pec" as a concerned Sinner walked round the net to ask what was wrong.
