Grigor Dimitrov has always been one of the most admired players not only for his great tennis, but also for his fantastic sportsmanship. The Bulgarian did something exceptional when playing the quarters at the Brisbane International against Kyle Edmund.

What happened?

Grigor was fighting hard against the Brit that was playing probably the best tennis of his career. After exchanging the first 2 sets, the pair was battling on a 4-all scoreline in the decider when Kyle fell down on the court after he twisted his ankle. Even if the match was well over the 2 hours’ mark and the competition was extremely “hot,” Dimitrov didn’t hesitate to jump over the net and rush in his opponent’s court to help him to recover.

Eventually, Grigor won this match 6-3 6-7 (3) 6-4, but the encounter will be remembered for his Grigor’s sportsmanship. 

Concern for Edmund as he goes down on the baseline. He’s helped to his chair by Dimitrov.
