Dimitrov beats Djokovic in a successful exhibition in Sofia!
The show was on in Sofia, Bulgaria, on Tuesday evening.
Novak Djokovic and Grigor Dimitrov faced off in a packed stadium in a highly anticipated exhibition match.
In a high-quality encounter in which the two men produced a series of magnificent points and unusual sequences, it was the Bulgarian who came out on top, much to the delight of his fans (6-4, 2-6, 10-5).
In addition to the world-class points, some of the more offbeat moments also got the crowd going.
These included the moment when Novak Djokovic took off his shirt while dancing, before encouraging his opponent and friend to do the same. Nole even rushed over to retrieve Dimitrov's polo shirt and kiss the garment!
