Grigor Dimitrov explains why he hit with Serena Williams in Melbourne
hit with his ex girlfriend earlier this week on the Rod Laver Arena at the Australian Open. In an interview, the Bulgarian player explained how it came out. Were not friends when were on the court, we barely spoke to each other.
I was like chill, were just hitting but she looked the other way so I was like OK no problem, Dimitrov said laughing. Its fun. We spoke after and she said hey thanks and I said yeah, for sure.
We have a mutual feeling. Its good to have those kind of hits to be honest. You can always learn a little something from whoever is on the other side of the net. We often hit actually, it just happened for everybody to be there that day.
Asked on what aspect the eight-time Grand Slam winner helped him the most so far, Dimitrov replied: I cant name one particular thing because weve worked on a couple of things in particular like patterns but thats the easy part.
He just makes me better. I learn something every day from a business point of view to tennis points. Hes such a nice and open person and hes willing to just give himself in a different way. I think hes pretty amazing and thats where the best friendships come about.
Tennis is a pretty lonely sport if you think about it. So its so nice to have someone you can share what you feel on the court and your deepest thoughts, your darkest thoughts, your concerns, your fears. Theres nothing better than when you can share that with someone whos super high on that intellectual level but also have gone through what youve gone through or you can relate to.
