The ATP Tour’s X account shared a video on April 17th of Grigor Dimitrov answering interesting questions from his fellow players. One “underwear” question from Thanasi Kokkinakis made the Bulgarian a bit uncomfortable, but he answered it anyway.

Notably, the 32-year-old Bulgarian player turned into a model for Lacoste Underwear this January. On his Instagram, he posted four pictures wearing the brand’s underwear.

Here’s his post:

Yeah, thanks for that question Kokki, man. To be completely honest with you, we took a whole day of shooting. Had to be in underwear for about nine hours. We had a lot of takes, and they were some of the very uncomfortable things that I had to wear through that time which I'm not sure if I'm comfortable sharing out here, but you can do the math on that one.

During an interview with New York Magazine, the 32-year-old narrated how he slipped and nearly injured his wrist, which could have ended his career. However, the bracelet “absorbed the impact” on his wrist, saving him from injury.

World No.1 Novak Djokovic, in that ATP Tour video, asked Dimitrov about how many Van Cleef bracelets he owns.

Novak more than you can put on your wrist, man. I'm a big fan of the Van Cleefs. I'm not sure if you can handle that much bling. We can give it a try. But let's say I'm pretty stacked up.

Djokovic then revealed that his son Stefan Djokovic also asked him to buy bracelets, which Djokovic did not allow him to wear because he was nine years old. However, Stefan told his father that bracelets are for men as well, and that’s why Dimitrov wears them. Djokovic added that his family sometimes discusses Dimitrov, which cracked him up.

Dimitrov recently played at the Monte Carlo Masters, but Holger Rune stopped him from progressing into the quarterfinals. Djokovic also ended his run after losing to Casper Ruud in the semifinals.
