Grigor Dimitrov is running along the coast by the sea in Monte Carlo, and in the background of the video on social networks you can hear shop music.
For training with Sebastien Durand, who takes care of his physical training, the former No. 3 in the world ranking in tennis has chosen a version of the popular piece “Uncle’s Horses”.
Starting next week, Dimitrov will participate in the “Masters 1000” tournament in Madrid. These days, he also found time for the ATP video column “Questions from players” and answered his colleagues who were interested in curious things from his life.
“But why exactly me? I’m a modest person,” Dimitrov said at first in an “attempt” to escape the questions, but then with apparent pleasure he answered everything he was asked.
World number one and Grand Slam record holder Novak Djokovic asked Grigor
how many Van Cleef bracelets does he own,
because he is known to be a big fan of the luxury brand.
“More than you can put your hand on. I don’t know if you can handle that much luxury. But we can try,” said Dimitrov.
“By the way, my son wants one and I told him that at 9 years old he can’t put something like that on his arm. And he: “Then why is Dimitrov wearing them?”. So you know, we often talk about you at home on this very topic,” said the Serbian.
Tanasi Kokkinakis’s question was a little more special. The Australian wanted to know how many photos Grigor had taken before the most suitable ones were chosen for his session as a Lacoste underwear model.
“Thank you for this question, Koki. To be completely honest with you, I will tell you that it took me all day. I was in my underwear for at least 9 hours. Well, I had to do some not so pleasant things, but I don’t know if it’s appropriate to talk about them right here”, explained Dimitrov.
Tommy Paul apologized for bringing Grigor back to an unpleasant experience, but wanted to know more about the incident in Barcelona last year,
when the Bulgarian was robbed in the street
and lost his watch.
“You remind me of a painful moment. While I was in the car, someone on a motorcycle approached and bent my side mirror. As I reached out to fix it, another one came up and grabbed me and tried to pull the watch away. I held it tight and they had to cut the strap with something very sharp. Good thing my arm wasn’t hurt. I hope this answer satisfies you. Otherwise, I have a new watch”, explained Grigor and showed his Bianchet.
Alexander Bublik’s question was very funny. The Russian eccentric, who plays for Kazakhstan, shared that Dimitrov always smells nice on the court. The question to ours was what perfume he uses and if he sprays himself during a match.
“Every time I go out on the court, it’s like a difficult love affair, and it’s important for me to smell good. Besides, most of our matches were before lunch and in such cases the perfume helps a lot. I have a variety. When we meet in the dressing room, remind me of the question and I will show them to you”, answered Grigor.
