Laughing off rumors over his relationship with Serena Williams, Grigor Dimitrov has made it clear he wants to hit the headlines because of his career, not because of his private life.
The Bulgarian 20-year-old has become a high-profile name at recent tournaments due to his great play, as well as the growing obsession over the nature of his relationship with Serena Williams, who has been spotted courtside at his matches.
"Just go and ask her," Dimitrov replied with a smile to Bulgarian journalists' questions in that direction on Tuesday.
The best Bulgarian tennis player visited Sofia, the capital of his home country for the 2012 Davis Cup Europe Zone Group III tournament.
"My top priority for this year is to qualify for the Olympics. At the moment this prospect is not very near, but fortunately I am not in the habit of watching the ranking every morning and checking how many spots up or down I am. If I manage to qualify for the games, I would be happy to play together with Tsvetana Pironkova," the young and charming star of Bulgaria's tennis added.
Dimitrov is a former world No1 junior who won both the Wimbledon and US Open titles in a stellar 2008 before making the immediate decision to concentrate on the senior circuit.
Big things are expected of the Bulgarian, but he says this does not worry him.
"It is only natural that people have high expectations towards me, but I don't feel this as a burden. It is my aim to do my best in every game and this is what matters to me most," he said.
