With the tennis season being put on halt until mid-July or even longer, the professionals are missing their regular life on the tour. Former World Number three Grigor Dimitrov penned down his thoughts of missing tennis in an Instagram post. And the Swiss legend Roger Federer subtlety mocked the Bulgarian.

“I’m so grateful to that sport, it has given me all I can ask for(yes, frustrating too at times:) but it always teaches me something that goes way beyond the sport. It challenges me! Thank you! I miss you tennis!” Dimitrov posted on Instagram.

Following his post, Federer commented: “Even lovers need a holiday.” Where lovers were personified to tennis. Also, German tennis player Tommy Haas pitched into the comment section and said, “everybody needs a little time away.”

Dimitrov is presently quarantined on the west coast of the US, California. He’s keeping himself in shape by working out in the small gym at his place. “I’m lucky because I have a small gym on the property where I’m staying and can access it every day. I have a little basketball court to run around on or can go for walks,” he told ATP Tour.com.
