Bulgaria’s best tennis player, Grigor Dimitrov and former world’s No. 1, Novak Djokovic, will face each other in a charity match. Tickets for the clash, which starts at 20:00 at the Arena Sofia hall in the capital, were sold out in a matter of minutes. Dimitrov and Djokovic have played a total of 13 matches against each other. Djokovic has 12 successes, and Dimitrov has one achieved in 2013 at the Masters in Madrid - a 2:1 victory. The demonstration show between the two will raise funds for the Grigor Dimitrov Foundation, which helps disadvantaged children.

Before the match, Grigor Dimitrov will give an open lesson to young tennis players.
