The bromance between Andrey Rublev and Grigor Dimitrov is not new to the tennis World. The 2 share an excellent bond on and off the court. Rublev considers him as one of his closest friends on Tour.
In another incident broadcasting their bromance, Grigor Dimitrov and Andrey Rublev mutually agreed to a miscellaneous ‘let’ call during their semi-final match at the Shanghai Masters.
During their semi-final clash, there was a doubtful ‘let’ where both, Andrey Rublev and Grigor Dimitrov thought that the ball had touched and rolled over the net. To solve this, Rublev offered to replay the point to which Grigor said that it was not his fault and that the point went to the Russian. Such is the sportsmanship spirit with which the two play the sport.
Andrey Rublev overcame Grigor Dimitrov in a tough and challenging match where the first set lasted for 76 minutes. Rublev won in straight sets but was pushed a lot throughout the match. He will now face Hubert Hurkacz in the finals of the Shanghai Masters. Grigor too had quite a good season up until now. He recently won his 400th career match. However, his main highlight this year remains defeating Spaniard, Carlos Alcaraz in three sets, in their round of 16 clash at the Shanghai Masters. It was one of the major upsets in this tournament.
Andrey Rublev and Grigor Dimitrov share a heartwarming moment
After Andrey Rublev prevailed victorious over Grigor Dimitrov in the semi-finals, the 2 shared a hearty moment at the net while coming to congratulate each other.

These 2 are a perfect example of true sportsmanship and camaraderie in the game of tennis. They make people realise the human side of the game. At the end of the day, the relationship between players is what matters more than the titles and prizes.
