WATCH: Novak Djokovic hilariously seeks Grigor Dimitrov's approval on his singing skills in Bulgarian as he gears up for their Sofia exhibition match

Novak Djokovic shared a playful video of himself singing a popular Bulgarian song ahead of his upcoming charity match. The video showcases the Serb’s lighter side as he prepares for the ‘Postbank Visa Tennis Gala’ with fellow tennis star Grigor Dimitrov.

The event, organized by the Grigor Dimitrov Foundation, is set to take place on September 17, 2024, at the Arena Sofia Hall in Bulgaria, with all proceeds going towards the foundation’s various projects.

In the video, the Serb can be seen singing "Luda po tebe" (Crazy About You) by Bulgarian singer Kamelia. The clip was shared on Instagram on September 16, 2024, when the Serb was preparing to leave for Bulgaria.

"Do you approve @grigordimitrov??" the Serb wrote.

Djokovic recently led Serbia to victory over Greece in the 2024 Davis Cup World Group 1, securing a 3-1 win to qualify for the 2025 Davis Cup qualifiers. The Serb registered a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Ioannis Xilas and a doubles win with Hamad Medjedovic against Aristotelis Thanos and Petros Tsitsipas 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.

On the other hand, Dimitrov is coming off a strong performance at the recently concluded US Open. The Bulgarian reached the quarterfinals but was forced to retire due to an injury in the fourth set against Frances Tiafoe.

Following the Sofia exhibition match, Grigor Dimitrov will participate in the Laver Cup, where he was awarded a spot in Team Europe after Rafael Nadal's withdrawal.
