World No. 16 Grigor Dimitrov may not have been able to beat his opponent, Kei Nishikori, in their 3rd round match up at Sony Open, in Miami, however he did manage to have the fans chanting his name.
Despite his 7-6, 7-5 loss to World No. 21, Nishikori, Grigor Dimitrov was the name on the fan's tongues on Sunday, in Miami. Players often take very little notice of the ball boys/girls when they are playing, and after losing the first set, the Bulgarian had every excuse to be in his own world. However, the young star showed that not only is he able to play great tennis, but he can also display great compassion and empathy.
Not surprisingly, he won over many fans with his considerate gesture. It is not often that we see players interact with the ball kids, which is why the crowd found it so refreshing to see a player appreciate the, often overlooked, hard work that ball boys/girls put in to their job.
