Aryna Sabalenka recently spoke highly of Grigor Dimitrov's photography skills.
Sabalenka and Dimitrov spent time together as teammates at the World Tennis League held in December 2023 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The duo represented Team Kites alongside Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Team Kites ended as the second-best team at the Abu Dhabi exhibition. They lost to Team Eagles, consisting of Mirra Andreeva, Sofia Kenin, Daniil Medvedev, and Andrey Rublev, in the final.
Sabalenka came across a fan question about Grigor Dimitrov in a recent Q&A session she organized on Instagram. The fan asked:
"How was Grigor as a friend when u [you] played with him in Abu Dhabi."
"He is so fun and knows how to take cool pics," the World No. 2 answered.
Along with the response, Aryna Sabalenka notably posted a photograph of Grigor Dimitrov taken inside the SeaWorld Abu Dhabi theme park. Every member of Team Kites took in the sites at the park a couple of days before the World Tennis League began.
In the photograph, Dimitrov could be spotted from behind, taking pictures of a giant fish tank.
