Grigor Dimitrov has been in Shanghai for several days, where he will soon begin his participation in the strong tournament in the Chinese city. And in his little free time, in addition to training and other activities for any professional athlete, the best Bulgarian tennis player of all time found time to immerse himself in the local culture. Grigor and his good tour buddy Casper Ruud checked out the Shanghai Art Museum.
At the same time, Dimitrov held a training session with the most successful player in tennis, Novak Djokovic. It will be the Serbian’s first match on tour since losing the US Open at the end of August.
The Bulgarian’s first opponent in the tournament in China will be Zizu Bergs. The two have only played once so far, with the Roland Garros victory this year going to the Haskovo-born talent. Their match, which will be the second round, is expected to be played on Saturday.
The Shanghai tournament is important for Grisho not only because of the potential participation in the finals in Turin, but also because he has 350 world ranking points to defend from reaching the semi-finals last year. Dimitrov is currently ranked 10th in the world.
