Over the years, Serena and Grigor have shared a great bond. They often practice with each other and regularly keep in touch by commenting on each other’s pictures. Just after the Australian Open this year, they were spotted practicing ahead of his appearance in Acapulco. 

During the Western and Southern Open this year, Serena even called Dimitrov her ‘bestie‘ after the World No. 28 wrote an adorable message for her as she wasn’t participating in the tournament.
