Alexander Zverev has revealed that his Bulgarian teammate, Grigor Dimitrov, plans to get naked to celebrate their Laver Cup victory. Dimitrov joined Team Europe at the last minute after Rafael Nadal had withdrawn from the event.

Dimitrov has been into a busy week. He played an exhibition match with Novak Djokovic in Sofia on Tuesday (September 17). While he beat Djokovic 6-4, 2-6 (10-6) in the match. However, their performance wasn’t the talking point.

Dimitrov and Djokovic had donned a custom jacket before walking to the court. After the match, both players took off their jackets and polo in strip tease.

The Serbian ace began the strip tease before Dimitrov followed. The 24-time major title champion took off his top, swinging it in the air, while Dimitrov gave him his top. Djokovic later shook his hips to the rhythm of the song while the crowd went wild in shock. The Bulgarian is now with Team Europe, but ahead of their bid to win the Laver Cup for the fifth time.

During the recent interview, Alexander Zverev revealed that the Bulgarian will “get naked” if Team Europe wins.

If we win, Grigor gets naked, just for the female fans. And for Bjorn. 
Alexander Zverev said

Dimitrov then reacted by smiling and then admitting getting naked without the jersey will be good.

Without the jersey, it’s good.

Dimitrov will open his Laver Cup campaign against Chilean Alejandro Tabilo on Friday (September 20). The Bulgarian has met the World No.21 only once in his career. They last met at the Miami Open in March, with Dimitrov winning to earn a spot in the round of 32.

Alexander Zverev doesn’t see himself as Team Europe leader

Alexander Zverev has admitted that he doesn’t see himself as the leader of Team Europe at the Laver Cup. The German has played in more Laver Cups than any player in Team Europe and has a wealth of experience in the event.

I don’t see myself as a leader at all in this team because I don’t think this team needs anything like a leader. We have only champions on this team. We all know what it takes to win the tournament. We all know what it takes to win big matches. I feel like we have all done it. 
Alexander Zverev said via Tennis365.

Zverev returned to his career high of World No. 2 after reaching the quarterfinals of the US Open before eventually losing to runners-up Taylor Fritz. The German has won 22 ATP singles, including six Masters 1000 titles.

However, he is yet to win a Grand Slam, despite reaching the final of the 2020 US Open and 2024 French Open. He will open his Laver Cup campaign in the doubles on Friday (September 20). He will partner with World No.3 Carlos Alcaraz for Team Europe against Team World’s Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton.
