The Swedish academy Good to Great Tennis Academy announced on there web site that Grigor Dimitrov leaves and will not be be trained by Mikael Tillstrom. The Bulgarian began training in the Stockholm-based academy last November when he was No 48 in the ATP ranking. Within less than a year he climbed to as high as 26th.
"There is no hard feelings in the decision. Grigor has decided to spend more time in Los Angeles instead of Stockholm. For The Academy this would have meant that Mikael Tillström, who was responsible coach for Grigor, more or less would become disconnected from the Good to Great Tennis Academy and the whole concept which we strongly believe in." states the web site of Good to Great.
