Wimbledon: Serena Williams Delighted To See 'bestie' Grigor Dimitrov Back After Injury Nightmare
All England Club: Serena Williams says she is thrilled to see close friend Grigor Dimitrov back competing at Wimbledon after the Bulgarian's injury-plagued year, describing him as her "guy bestie" and admitting it was difficult to watch his heartbreaking retirement from last year's Championships.
Williams returns to Wimbledon for her first singles match since the 2022 US Open. She met up with Dimitrov at the All England Club on Friday, where they embraced warmly before the tournament.
At her pre-tournament press conference on Sunday, the 23-time Grand Slam champion spoke about their long friendship. "I always call Grigor my bestie; he's definitely my guy bestie," Williams was quoted by ATP as saying. "It was so good to see him. We obviously communicate outside of Grand Slams. I haven't seen him in almost a year, so it was nice to catch up. I have so many good memories with Grigor. He gets my crazy, and I get his crazy. Believe me, he’s way crazier than I am."
