The 28-year-old explained that he sleeps with a special glove to help his wound repair in time for next week. He also hopes to be 100 percent ready to play in Melbourne.

Dimitrov also hopes that the blister heals in the next couple of days. He suggested that he has been taking good care of it, but hopefully, he is going to be 100 percent right.
