Former World No.3 Grigor Dimitrov has teamed up with the ATP Coach Programme to support coaches in need by offering his services to a lucky auction winner.

The 2017 Nitto ATP Finals winner and his coaching team will spend an hour on court with an auction winner and their guest at an ATP Tour event in Europe or the Americas between January and July 2021. The auction will benefit members of the ATP Coach Programme in need and ends on July 27. It can be accessed here.

The auction is just one of numerous fan experiences that feature top ATP players and coaches. The funds from these events will be allocated to the ATP Coaches Committee to support coaches who have been unable to work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, part of the proceeds will be donated to a global COVID-19 relief fund.

“It has been really exciting to see the response the initiative has received so far. It’s fair to say it has exceeded all our expectations and will go a long way to help coaches,” said Dani Vallverdu, an ATP Coach who used to work with Dimitrov. “I want to thank everyone for their generous contributions and look forward to fans enjoying the incredible experiences lined up in the second round.”

In addition to hitting with Dimitrov, fans also have the option of competing for other exclusive experiences. These include spending an hour on court with Feliciano Lopez at the 2021 Mutua Madrid Open. The winning bidder will also receive two premium tickets for the men’s singles semi-finals and exclusive access to the ATP Masters 1000 event’s VIP village.

Furthermore, Former World No. 1 Carlos Moya will spend an hour on court with the winning bidder and a guest at 2021 Roland Garros. The complete list of auctions and rules can be found here.
