Few could have hoped for a better ATP Finals debut than what Grigor Dimitrov is enjoying. The world No. 6 started in London with a gritty three-set win over Dominic Thiem before dismantling David Goffin 6-0, 6-2 on Thursday.
He started the tournament on a light note as a guest reporter at the ATP Finals launch party. The winning seems to have the Bulgarian in an even better mood as he took a press prank orchestrated by Ryan Harrison really well.
All of that still isn't the only press fun Dimitrov has had. On Thursday he was asked this question:
"Last thing is, you are Bulgarian, you were born in Haskovo. You lived in Paris, are a resident of Monte-Carlo. You had a Russian girlfriend in Los Angeles. I'd like to know if you think about yourself as a citizen of the world?"
Dimitrov didn't miss a beat.
"You mentioned only one girlfriend in there? Man, c'mon."
The reporter was referring to Maria Sharapova, who Dimitrov dated for two years before starting a relationship with singer Nicole Scherzinger.
