Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music the way Novak Djokovic and Grigor Dimitrov do? Just before taking his flight to Berlin for Laver Cup, Dimitrov was spotted sharing a lighthearted moment with the Serb in front of a jam-packed stadium in Bulgaria. Both of these players took part in an exhibition match at the ‘Postbank Visa Tennis Gala’. During which, they were spotted entertaining the crowd by removing their shirts and playfully showing off their chiseled physique. Are we going to a similarly crazy ‘str-ptease’ show in Berlin as well?
Well, in reply to this question from a reporter, Grigor Dimitrov said, “I was hoping you’re not going to mention that one. I don’t know. I’ll let the boys decide on that.” Dimitrov said he had a “great time” with Novak over there and beating the 24-time Grand Slam champion by 6-4, 2-6 (10-6) made the occasion even more special for him. Novak Djokovic initially started the hilarious ‘str-ptease’ move by taking off his shirt, waving it in the hair, and shaking his hips to the music.
Grigor Dimitrov then teased the crowd holding the bottom of his own T-shirt and he pretended to them as if she was also going to lift it up. Then, with a little encouragement from the Serb, Dimitrov joined the ‘str-ping’ party! Even before the start of this match, the ‘Serbinator’ looked in a good mood as he sang a famous Bulgarian song, ‘Luda po tebe’ (Crazy About You). Djokovic even posted a video of it on his IG with a caption stating, “Do you approve @grigordimitrov??”

In reply, Dimitrov reposted it on his own IG story with a caption, “Karaoke night is in session. Here we go.” Novak Djokovic’s ecstatic reactions to “reuniting” with his “Bulgarian brother” stole the show in Bulgaria.

Well, Alexander Zverev was also present at the Laver Cup‘s press conference. So, when he heard that Dimitrov was letting the boys decide on this, the German replied, “We win, Grigor gets naked, just for the female fans. And for Bjorn.”

Then Dimitrov quickly jumped into the scene, stating, “No, no, we had a great time with Novak. Honestly, he was such a great sport for that. Just truly happy to be able to establish my foundation in such a way clearly. Times is also about that, about the enjoyment, something that is worth it and means something to you. Now I’m on the team with these fellas over here, so I guess whatever I promise I need to deliver. So I better be careful.” However, Dimitrov has another role in Team Europe, though!

Stefanos Tsitsipas reveals Grigor Dimitrov’s new role in the team
According to Stefanos Tsitsipas, the Bulgarian star is now Team Europe’s Laver Cup DJ! DJ Grigy D? Tsitsipas is a big fan of Coldplay and unfortunately, Grigor Dimitrov‘s playlist doesn’t have much of them. Dimitrov loves everything related to Linkin Park. Sadly for the Greek, “Grigor is in charge of the playlist,” so he will perhaps have to bear what the new DJ decides to play.
