Grigor Dimitrov shares funny update on crazy moments with Novak

Grigor Dimitrov said he is excited to have the opportunity to play for Team Europe in the Laver Cup. The Bulgarian was called up by captain Bjorn Borg to replace Rafael Nadal and will do his best to make the most of this opportunity.

“It’s great to be here. Every time I’m part of a team, I get even more fired up. As I told the guys yesterday, it’s a privilege to be here at this stage of my career. To be able to contribute to the success of the team is the ultimate goal. I feel like I can still learn a lot and I hope to do so this weekend as well. I’m pumped and can’t wait to play,” he said in the media day of the tournament.

But not only that. Grigor played an exhibition match in his native Bulgaria together with Novak Djokovic. The two put on a show both on and off the court, improvising a fun striptease and going wild in the disco. In the press conference, they were asked to talk about those fun moments.

“I was hoping I wouldn’t have to talk about it! No, Novak and I had a lot of fun. Honestly, he was the right person to organize this event. Our time is also about having fun, it has to be worth it. Now I’m on a team with these guys and I guess I have to keep every promise. So I better be careful,” he added.

“Every time I’m in that team environment, I light up even more.”
