Insolite - Zverev on Dimitrov: "If we win, Grigor gets naked".
There's a great atmosphere in Berlin.
During the European team's press conference, one moment in particular provoked general hilarity. Grigor Dimitrov was asked about his exhibition match against Novak Djokovic, during which both men dropped their shirts.
Referring to this sequence, which quickly went viral, one of the journalists asked the Bulgarian how he would celebrate the title if Team Europe won. The world number 10's answer, combined with Alexander Zverev's intervention, is well worth the detour. Excerpt.
"- Grigor, we've all seen the good, crazy footage of your match against Novak. Can fans expect the same spectacle, striptease and all?
- I was hoping you weren't going to mention it (laughs). I let the boys decide that, what they want me to do. No, we had a great time with Novak.
- Zverev: If we win, Grigor gets naked, just for the female fans. And for Bjorn (laughs).
- Dimitrov: Without the shirt, it's nice (smile)."
