A devastated Grigor Dimitrov left Wimbledon in tears after being forced to retire injured when two sets up on world number one Jannik Sinner.

Bulgaria's Dimitrov led an enthralling contest 6-3 7-5 2-2 before he fell to the floor holding his right pectoral after serving an ace.

He appeared to be in serious discomfort following the incident and Sinner immediately rushed over to help.

Dimitrov received medical treatment after returning to his chair and then briefly left court, before returning in tears to shake Sinner's hand.

He left Centre Court to a standing ovation but was barely able to lift his right arm to wave in appreciation.
