Having recently parted company with Jack Draper, Jamie Delgado has apparently gone back to working with Dimi (article reproduced in full, as it's not particularly long &, the last time I tried, the archive set required a subscription to read articles in full):

Jamie Delgado reunites with Grigor Dimitrov after Jack Draper split

After Jack Draper hires Andy Murray for grass-court season, Delgado pairs up with veteran Bulgarian once again

Jack Draper's former coach, Jamie Delgado, has reunited with Grigor Dimitrov, weeks after abruptly parting ways with the British No2.  Delgado, 49, who helped guide Sir Andy Murray to world No1 in 2016, was recruited by Draper in October as the 24-year-old battled to recover from a complex upper arm injury.

Draper returned to the ATP Tour in February and defeated Novak Djokovic in the fourth round of Indian Wells a month later. However, he then suffered a second-round defeat against Reilly Opelka in Miami before sustaining a knee injury in his first match on clay at the Barcelona Open, which ruled him out of Roland-Garros, and is now targeting a return on the grass next month.  Draper approached Murray during that recent layoff to be his coach and ultimately split with Delgado after only four tournaments together. The partnership marks Murray's first return to coaching since an unexpected six-month stint alongside Djokovic ended last May, although it was harsh on Delgado, who Draper described as a "world-class coach and a great man".

It is understood Delgado has since been rehired by Dimitrov, the 35-year-old former world No3, whose decorated career has also been waylaid by recent injury struggles.  Dimitrov led the eventual champion Jannik Sinner by two sets in the fourth round at Wimbledon last year before tearing a pectoral muscle mid-point and having to retire. The Bulgarian was out injured for several months and he and Delgado split amicably in September after working together for three years. Delgado was recruited by Draper shortly afterwards.

Dimitrov has endured a miserable run of form this season, winning only two of his ten ATP Tour-level matches and dropping from No10 in the world at the start of 2025 to No168. A former three-times grand slam semi-finalist, Dimitrov was knocked out in the first round of qualifying at the French Open by Portugal's Jaime Faria.

It is understood Delgado also received an approach from a rising star previously ranked in the top ten, but he and Dimitrov are close and want to ensure the twilight of the latter's career ends on a higher note.
