Bulgaria’s tennis star Grigor Dimitrov pranked a host of fellow stars into saying important words for a promo.

The 32-year-old is currently taking part in the ATP 1000 Shanghai Masters where he is doing wonders on the court and has already booked his place in the last-eight after a stunning victory over the current world number two Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz with a score of 5-7, 6-2, 6-4.

Despite his heroics on the court, Dimitrov took some time out to be involved in a prank with fellow tennis stars into saying important words for a promo.

The list of players who participated in the prank unknowingly were the likes of Alcaraz, America’s Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Frances Tiafoe, and Russia’s Andrey Rublev.

Dimitrov will now face Chile’s Nicolas Jarry in the quarterfinal of the event on Friday where he will be hoping to produce another impressive performance and book his place in the last four.
