During the match, the commentator asked Serena what she thinks of Grigor’s game. The American decided to have a fun-filled banter with the Bulgarian.

Well, we’re thinking about changing Dimitrov’s game to the G-force. We are excited to see, you go out there, and crush it”, Serena said.

The two were taking movie references and the American continued her fun banter with Dimitrov.

The Bulgarian, he was looking at the G-force, the Genuis. May G-force be with you”, Serena said as the Bulgarian was seen laughing. Before going to play the next game, Dimitrov was asked if he had any questions for the American.

It’s so nice to be on the other end right, Serena?” asked the Bulgarian, referring to Serena’s commentary.

With a hearty smile, Serena responded, “It is, its!!”. 

The Ultimate Tennis Showdown is looking to change the way the sport is being played by introducing several new rules making the matches short. The tournament made its debut last year with two editions.

With top-class players like Dominic Thiem, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Dustin Brown, the first edition proved to be a success among viewers even though many felt that it might take a while to get used to the new rules.
