(VIDEO) Hilarious moment Grigor Dimitrov is asked about whether he likes dentists with superb response at World Tennis League
ATP
Amidst the
World Tennis League, Grigor Dimitrov was asked if he enjoys going to the
dentist. The Bulgarian tennis player gave a hilariously candid response while
watching the match between his teammates Paula Badosa and Aryna Sabalenka
against Iga Swiatek and Caroline Garcia.
Dimitrov
was part of the Kites team alongside Stefanos Tsitsipas and Lloyd Harris,
stepping in midway through the tournament due to some physical discomfort
experienced by Tsitsipas. In the final, they faced off against the Eagles team
consisting of Russians Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, Mirra Andreeva, and the
American Sofia Kenin.

A
lighthearted moment occurred during the exhibition tournament. During the
matches, team members comment live with the commentators on their teammates'
duels. During the women's doubles in the match against the Hawks, Dimitrov was
caught off guard with a peculiar question: "Grigor, you probably don’t
expect this question. Do you like going to the dentist? Do you have a
particular fear of the dentist?"
Dimitrov's
response elicited laughter from the commentators: “No, I f***ing… sorry, hate
it. I hate it,” Grigor Dimitrov said. “We understand your sentiments, but we
apologize straightaway for that comment,” responded the commentator, laughing.
“Grigor 💀 also why are we speaking of
dentists??”
The
34-year-old tennis player finished the year as world No. 14, marking the 11th
consecutive time he has ended the season within the top 30, with seven of those
occasions placing him within the top 20. Dimitrov boasts 8 titles, including
the 2017 Cincinnati Open and ATP Finals in the same year, where he also reached
the semifinals of a Grand Slam on three occasions.
The
Bulgarian had notable performances during the year, with the highlight being
the final of the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000 and the semifinals of the Shanghai
Open. Additionally, he reached the semifinals in two ATP 500 tournaments: the
Washington Open and the Rotterdam Open, along with the final of the ATP 250
Geneva Open.
