How Dimitrov is spending his time during quarantine?

He also revealed where quarantine took him and how he is training during the pandemic. The only thing that makes the 28-year-old positive is that there will be tournaments. Although he does not know when the tour resumes, he is just trying to be positive during these challenging times.

“It is more important to keep ourselves safe, to be positive, which is really not easy. We are accustomed to a different way of life, which at the moment makes us learn something completely different about ourselves,” he added.

 

Dimitrov is currently quarantined in California. Subsequently, he desires to meet his relatives and just spend time with them. He might have to stay in the US for two months, after which he will go home. Furthermore, he intends to take an online course at Harvard University and take a degree from the prestigious institute. “I’ve always wanted Harvard Business School,” Dimitrov revealed.

“At the moment it’s just me and my coach. There are no fans to take care of me. I’ll be back in Europe right after the state of emergency, maybe in Bulgaria,” he concluded.
