13 active ATP players to reach every Grand Slam quarter-final: Grigor Dimitrov joins list at French Open

The Grignaissance is real.

Aged 33, Grigor Dimitrov is playing the best clay court tennis of his career, downing Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets to reach the last eight of the French Open .

Having never done well in Paris previously, Dimitrov is a first quarter-final at the tournament – and has now reached that stage at all four Grand Slam tournaments.

That is an achievement not yet reached by Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Casper Ruud, and only 13 active ATP stars have now achieved that feat.

Novak Djokovic

It should come as no surprise to see Djokovic feature on this list.

The Serbian has done more than reach the quarter-final at these events: He is the only man in history to win all four Grand Slams on at least three occasions, with 24 Grand Slam titles in total.

Rafael Nadal

Another obvious face to feature here, Nadal’s career is winding down – but he has not officially confirmed his retirement yet.

The Spaniard has also completed the Career Grand Slam and has won all four majors at least twice, with 22 Grand Slam victories to his name.

Andy Murray

Much like Nadal, Murray’s career is winding down, but only after extraordinary success – being the only player who could consistently rival the ‘Big Three.’

The Brit is best remembered for his two Wimbledon wins and his US Open triumph, but also reached five finals at the Australian Open and was Roland Garros runner-up in 2016.

Stan Wawrinka

Another three-time Slam winner, Wawrinka is perhaps the ultimate tennis late-bloomer, with the peak of his success coming in his late twenties and early thirties.

The Swiss star was a champion at the Australian Open, French Open, and US Open, while he also reached two quarter-finals at Wimbledon.

Marin Cilic

The past 15 months have seen Cilic rarely step onto the court due to his injury struggles, but the Croat is one of just a handful of active players to reach the last four at every major.

He famously won the US Open ten years ago and was a Wimbledon and Australian Open runner-up, before a surprise run to the last four of the French Open in 2022.

Daniil Medvedev

Medvedev is the only member of his generation – the original ‘Next Gen’ – to win a major title, and has also found a consistency across the majors that his contemporaries largely haven’t matched.

As well as his US Open win in 2021, the former No 1 is a three-time Australian Open runner-up, Wimbledon semi-finalist, and was also a Roland Garros quarter-finalist in 2021.

Carlos Alcaraz

Alcaraz has played just 13 Grand Slam events, so it is a testament to his extreme talent that he already finds himself on this list.

The Spaniard is already a champion at the US Open and Wimbledon and reached the French Open last four in 2023, before reaching a first quarter-final Down Under earlier this season.

Jannik Sinner

World No 2 Sinner has also been a consistent major force in recent times, with his run to the last eight at Roland Garros this year meaning he’s reached two quarter-finals in Paris already.

Alongside those runs, he famously won his first Slam at the Australian Open this season, alongside being a former Wimbledon semi-finalist and US Open quarter-finalist.

Andrey Rublev

Rublev has been criticised for not reaching a major semi-final, but he is a consistent figure on tour with an impressive ten Grand Slam quarter-finals to his name.

The Russian has reached four US Open quarter-finals, three at the Australian Open, two in Paris, and reached a first Wimbledon quarter-final 12 months ago.

Matteo Berrettini

Currently on the comeback trail, Berrettini is best remembered for his run to the Wimbledon final three years ago, but has a consistent record across all four major tournaments.

Outside of SW19, he has also reached US and Australian Open semi-finals, while he was a quarter-finalist at Roland Garros in 2021.

Karen Khachanov

Perhaps the most surprising name on this list, Khachanov has saved some of his very best tennis for the Slams across his career.

The Russian reached the French Open and Wimbledon quarter-finals early in his career, before reaching consecutive US and Australian Open semi-finals across the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Kei Nishikori

Another player currently returning from long-term injury issues, ‘Special Kei’ is probably best remembered for his US Open final run in 2014.

However, the Japanese star has also gone deep at the other three majors, reaching multiple quarter-finals at all of them.

Grigor Dimitrov

The new edition to the list, Dimitrov has defied previous clay court struggles to reach the last eight at Roland Garros during his latest surge up the rankings.

The Bulgarian has reached semi-finals at all three of the other majors during his career, and the world No 3 will face Sinner for a place in the last four in Paris.
