Grigor Dimitrov has so far put on some mesmerizing performances to make it to the championship match in Bercy, Paris. In the initial rounds of the Paris Masters, the Bulgarian tennis star swept aside the likes of Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Bublik. Later, in the quarterfinals, the 32-year-old was up against the 11th seed, Hubert Hurkacz, whom he outclassed in a three-set match. Even the 7th seed Greek, Stefanos Tsitsipas, had to taste a defeat at the hands of Dimitrov, who prevailed in their nail-biting semifinal meeting in Paris. Now, the former world No. 3 is one match victory away from glory as he will be up against the Serbian tennis great, Novak Djokovic, in a blockbuster showdown.

If he manages to come out on top in the challenging matchup, the Bulgarian can take home the singles title as well as a whopping prize purse at the last ATP Tour Masters 1000 event of the season.
