Dimitrov celebrates at home while Goffin scowls

Always the bridesmaid, (almost) never the bride.

On Sunday in Sofia, David Goffin once again went through the pain of falling one match short of the title. The 26-year-old had to sit in obvious disappointment while Grigor Dimitrov walked away with his second title of 2017.

The home favorite Bulgarian sealed the crown with a 7-5, 6-4 win. In the Belgian's defense, he hasn't won a tournament since 2014 (the year he won his first two career titles). It marked Goffin's fifth career final loss in a row.

After expressing some unease about playing at home for the first time, the third-seeded Dimitrov struggled in his opening round, before sweeping past his next three opponents in straight sets.

Though the tournament is just an ATP 250 event, it'll surely have a special place in the Bulgarian's heart forever, while it's just another one that got away for Goffin.
