A professional exhibition tennis match is scheduled for June 12 in Sofia, featuring top Bulgarian player Grigor Dimitrov and former World No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas. The event, titled the Postbank Tennis Gala, will take place at Arena 8888 Sofia and is held under the patronage of President Iliana Iotova.
The proceedings will be broadcast live on bTV, with proceeds designated for the Grigor Dimitrov Foundation to support the development of young talent. The sale of limited tickets for the match will commence on May 4 through the Eventim network. The pairing brings together two accomplished professionals.
Tsitsipas boasts 12 singles titles on the ATP Tour and has reached Grand Slam finals at both the French Open (2021) and the Australian Open (2023). Dimitrov, who won the ATP Finals in 2017, has accumulated nine singles titles throughout his career. The two athletes have faced each other eight times on the professional circuit, with Tsitsipas holding a 6–2 lead in wins.
Notably, in their most recent encounter at the Paris Masters in November 2023, Dimitrov secured a victory, though both players subsequently reached the final where Dimitrov was defeated by Novak Djokovic. The planned exhibition match in Sofia is expected to be a significant sporting event, drawing attention to both the players’ careers and the charitable initiatives supporting Bulgarian youth through the Dimitrov Foundation.
