Grigor Dimitrov taps into Miami vibes with Bulgarian-inspired Lacoste duffel bag

MIAMI—Grigor Dimitrov has never been a guy to shy away from a good time, choosing to embrace the scene surrounding him.

Miami has long been a place where Dimitrov can just do that, thanks in part to events that encourage the former ATP Finals champion to express himself through fashion.

“You wear the clothes, man. The clothes don’t wear you. That’s just how it is,” he told Prakash Amritraj after his opening win at this year’s Miami Open.

“I like the vibes in Miami.”

On the court, the Lacoste ambassador has sported a white polo featuring pink and green color blocking on the raglan sleeves. Navy shorts are paired with the top that fits right in with the colors of the Magic City.

Dimitrov’s jacket drops the green in favor of highlighting the pink, white and navy combination.

Beyond rocking this custom look for the Sunshine Double, Dimitrov has also been armed with a special accessory. During his second-round win over 17-year-old Federico Cina of Italy, the 14th seed was spotted carrying a Lacoste duffel paying homage to his heritage.

The red on-court bag is lined with a green zipper and straps, as white is folded in through a removeable strap and a nifty embroidered ‘GD’ logo. The shades represent the three colors on Bulgaria’s flag, featuring three horizontal bands in white, green and red order.

Last year at this event, Dimitrov blitzed Carlos Alcaraz on his way to a runner-up finish at Hard Rock Stadium. With notable points to defend, the 33-year-old is back in the round of 16 following a hard-fought comeback win over Karen Khachanov.

“I try not to really pay attention to these things anymore, because I want to focus more on my game. I know that if I’m able to do that, the freedom I’m able to experience, in the end I don’t care if I lose the points or not. I care how I feel out there on the court,” he said in a follow-up interview with Amritraj on Tennis Channel.

“I’m not afraid to lose ranking, not afraid to lose points. Of course it adds pressure. I’m human after all.”

A meeting with No. 31 seed Brandon Nakashima awaits Tuesday, as Dimitrov seeks to keep the good vibes flowing the 305.
