Bulgarian tennis talent Ivan Ivanov, seeded sixth at the British Open Junior Tennis Championships, has secured his place in the Wimbledon Grand Slam final.

In a thrilling semi-final match, Ivanov avenged his earlier defeat at the French Open semifinals by beating 13th-seeded German Max Schoenhaus 7-6(7), 7-6(5).

This marks only the second time in 17 years that a Bulgarian player has reached the junior final at Wimbledon, the last being Grigor Dimitrov, who went on to win the title.

Adding to the excitement, an all-Bulgarian final could be on the cards. Dimitrov’s cousin, Alexander Vassilev, will face American Ronit Karki in the other semi-final scheduled for later today.
