Tennis fans were in for a treat at the 2024 Laver Cup in Berlin, where Grigor Dimitrov was not only showcasing his skills on the court but also his impeccable taste in music. Known for his eclectic playlist, Dimitrov took on the role of Team Europe’s DJ, much to the amusement of his teammates.
Stefanos Tsitsipas, after securing a victory in his singles match, revealed in an on-court interview that Dimitrov was in charge of the playlist. “Grigor is in charge of the playlist,” Tsitsipas shared with Andrea Petkovic, adding that the music selections were definitely not Coldplay, but something fresh and cool.
Despite the absence of Coldplay hits, Tsitsipas was riding high on his win over Thanasi Kokkinakis, whom he had lost to at the US Open just a few weeks prior. The victory not only marked his first win since July but also served as a testament to his determination and focus on the court.
“I really didn’t want to repeat what happened at the US Open,” Tsitsipas admitted, reflecting on his mindset going into the match. With a sense of gratitude towards outgoing Team Europe captain Bjorn Borg, Tsitsipas felt motivated to perform at his best for his team and represent his continent with pride.
As Tsitsipas set his sights on maximizing his performance throughout the Laver Cup, fans could expect to see a display of skill and passion from the talented player. And with Dimitrov at the helm of the music selection, the vibe both on and off the court was sure to be top-notch, even if Coldplay wasn’t on the playlist.
