Grigor Dimitrov, the world No. 10 tennis player, has taken on an additional role at the 2024 Laver Cup in Berlin: Team Europe’s DJ. Dimitrov’s eclectic music tastes, ranging from Linkin Park to Hans Zimmer, have made him the perfect choice for the job.
Stefanos Tsitsipas, Dimitrov’s teammate, revealed his unofficial title during an on-court interview after his opening singles victory on Friday. Tsitsipas praised Dimitrov’s playlist, saying he had introduced him to new and cool songs.
Dimitrov’s musical contributions have added to the already vibrant atmosphere at the Laver Cup. The Bulgarian’s love for music is well-known, and he has often shared his playlists with fans on social media.
Tsitsipas’s victory over Thanasi Kokkinakis was a significant moment for the Greek player. It was his first match win since July, and he credited outgoing Team Europe captain Bjorn Borg for his improved performance.
“I came on the court with a big sense of determination from the very beginning,” Tsitsipas said. “I really didn’t want to repeat what happened at the US Open.”
Tsitsipas expressed his gratitude to Borg, saying he wanted to make him proud. He also joked that the Swede should be his new coach.
The Laver Cup is a unique event that brings together the best players from Europe and the rest of the world. The tournament is played over three days and features a variety of singles and doubles matches.
Team Europe has won the Laver Cup four times in a row, and they will be looking to extend their streak in Berlin. With Dimitrov providing the soundtrack and Tsitsipas playing with renewed confidence, Team Europe is well-positioned to continue their dominance.
