Not yet, Marto. I think the entry lists will be out around the end of November

His main priority should be to finalise his coaching situation and train hard in the off-season. Any news on whether he has stayed with Patrick?

Patrick said that he will announce decision during off season

I think its pretty clear if you look at Patricks twitter. Where it used to say "coach of Grigor Dimitrov" it now says "Coach of Serena Williams." That relationship is over. Count on it.

And he didn't go to Mauritius with Patrick this year, that explains plenty of things!

Did they go to Mauritius already??? I don't think so ... the season just ended. I guess they will go in December, but I'll be happy if Grigor don't go with them, leave that academy and finds some good coach

I think the academy is good for him and I'm not as down on Patrick as many here. I think part of the problem was that sometimes Patrick was his coach and at others, it was his dad. You can't blame Patrick for not being fully committed to the arrangement when Grigor didn't appear to be either.

Whatever his decision, he needs to make it soon. The longer he waits, the less time he has to work on his game in the off-season and that should be his priority.

I read the news that Serena and Patrick were already there,so I thought Grigor couldn't make it!

Grigor will start season 2013 in Brisbane!

Hypnotize · 11-21-2012, 11:01 AM

Good choice. Hopefully he will do well there and then take the following week off to prepare for AO. Last year's schedule did not help him even though the Hopman Cup was a good experience.

Best of luck

Cant wait!

Grigor will play two tournaments before Australian open - Brisbane and Apia International Sidney.

Hypnotize · 11-28-2012, 12:04 PM

Not sure that is the best idea but at least it shows commitment. Good opportunity to pick up some points too.

kr1s71an · 12-07-2012, 12:01 PM

Grigor Dimitrov confirmed that he will play in the Davis Cup tie between Bulgaria and Finland in February!

So his schedule for the beginning of 2013 is:

31/12-06/01: Brisbane Intenational (Brisbane, Australia)
07/01-13/01: Apia International Sydney (Sydney, Australia)
14/01-27/01: Australian Open (Melbourne, Australia)
01/02-03/02: Davis Cup (Sofia, Bulgaria)
