Grigor Dimitrov will have to play his third round match in Shanghai tomorrow.
The opponent of the best Bulgarian tennis player is Alexey Popirin (AVL), who leads 2:1 in the balance between the two and won their last meeting in Montreal this season.
If it doesn’t rain, the match from the “Masters 1000” tournament should be second on court 3. The program from 7.30 am our time will be opened by Frenchmen Gael Monfils and Hugo Humber.
The organizers released a funny video on social networks in which they tell how Chinese fans call their favorite tennis players. Most of the stars have their nicknames and Grigor Dimitrov’s is My lady. The explanation – because of its modern and elegant style of play.
“It’s cool,” commented the former world No.3.
Novak Djokovic, Yannick Siner, Alexander Zverev, Danil Medvedev, Casper Ruud, Frances Tiafoe also learned their nicknames.
The “Golden Monkey”? The “Chicken”? The “Good Student”? 🧑🎓
