Grigor Dimitrov was in his best form at the ongoing Paris Masters. Although Dimitrov reached the finals, he lost to Novak Djokovic in straight sets. He had been breaking records and hearts in Paris. Dimitrov is one of the most charming players on the tour. His athleticism and trick shots on the court have always captured the hearts of the fans.
Dimitrov was in an interview with Prakash Amritraj at the Paris Masters. Amritraj read a fan question to Dimitrov, which made the player blush. The fan asked, “Why do I faint all the time when I see you? And I think you are the hottest on tour.” The Bulgarian player started laughing when it was revealed that the fan was Venus Williams. He replied that the pair needed to do an online gym session.

Dimitrov had earlier mentioned his relationship with the Williams sisters. He said, “They are such amazing humans. I have such a great relationship with them and I’m so thankful and grateful every time they’re able to come and cheer me up. They are just amazing.”
Dimitrov had done online gym sessions with Venus earlier. Both players have known each other for a long time. They have been friends of the tour as Dimitrov had also dated Serena Williams. But he is still good friends with the Williams sisters.
Grigor Dimitrov and his love life with Serena Williams
There were rumors of Serena dating Dimitrov back in 2012. The couple reportedly was going to concerts and traveling together on tour. The 23-time grand slam champion was 30 years old, while Dimitrov was 10 years younger than her. The couple had never admitted they were romantically involved but were seen spending time together off-court.
They were first spotted together in Paris in 2012. Serena and Dimitrov were having lunch together and also went on walks. But a year later, they broke up, and the reasons were not disclosed. But both players have remained as friends on tour. Serena even came up with nicknames for Dimitrov during a UTS match this year. She was in the commentary box and was talking to him during a break.
