Before heading to the tournament in Istanbul, Grigor Dimitrov returned to Bulgaria in the day to clarify some details of the partnership with "Telenor" and then spoke at a press conference in front of their home media. Our best player gave an interview for bTV. Here is what Gregory in "120 minutes":

- How are you, do not come often in Bulgaria.
- It happens to me (laughs). Have to play in tournaments pretty, but whenever I have the opportunity to go back because my family is here and I'm trying to enjoy these moments.

- How you act all the attention wherever you go in the world?
- There are big pluses, but there are a lot of time that must combine training with my duties off the court. Is never easy, three-four days before the tournament you always have pledged interviews or other mandatory things that really take a lot of attention. There is also one of the tricks to learn, but I think for the moment deal.

- What's the trick?
- Staying alone in his shell, especially when you prepare for an important tournament. Always a little more serious ...

- How is this happening? You arrive somewhere, they openly pursuing paparazzi, and you have to stay concentrated. In an interview Djokovic admits that evening write a diary and this was his escape. What is yours?
- Everyone has something. I love much to walk before or after dinner. This is one of the things that have always helped me to concentrate on the next match. Many times I happened to sit at the computer and write something ... These are the simple things.

- Do you remember the date July 7, 2008?
- Yes, Wimbledon. My father was the coach who helped in many cases. My mother was an integral part of everything we did together. We have always had synchronicity in our family and it helps a lot in the development of an athlete.

- Were you a good student?
- I can not remember (laughs). But beware hour, when necessary.

- Where you were sitting in the classroom?
- I was sitting in the first rank of left row.

- Who you lit tennis?
- Good question. Everyone asks me what I would do if I do not play tennis and I can not answer. For me, there was nothing but that. My father was a coach from the beginning and everything was very natural, nobody never made me play, all the desire came from me. In the moments when you really felt that I wanted to do something big, come and help of my parents and the people around me.

- Do you remember the moment you said "yes, I'm a good player"?
- Yes, when I won a tournament to 11 years in France. Then there was a moment when I realized that tennis is something I want to do.

- How do you relax?
- While fly (laughs). I always have long flights with the exception of those months in Europe.Looking to relax at any time, to read a book or watch a movie. We do not have holidays, but we hope that this day will come.

- Will you change your rocket?
- No, it will not change. Work, we have not yet determined the colors, but hope that by the end of the year and it will.

- Insurance Is?
- No, I'm insured, it shall set me (laughs).

- We hear all kinds of things, is it true that Pete Sampras is offered for your coach?
- As far as I heard this mentioned in another interview. I am moved, but each is individual. You can not judge a player by his results this year. Everyone expects something from you, everyone expects something, but I'm in full control and harmony with the things around me and nobody can change my mind. I also have a very good team behind you, so if you need something to do, certainly the first I would put it. All these stories are inevitable.

- What did you talk with opponents before a game when you go out on the court?
- Before you go out on the court not talk. Congratulations, of course, but not be friendly to each other. Everyone wants to beat the other, that is within us. We have great respect for each other, but when you go out on the court the respect in mind. Although I always play fearpey and honest on the court, but that does not make me more vulnerable against anyone play.

- In an interview with Larry King, your girlfriend Maria Sharapova was also questioned this, and she, her response was, "I do not speak, because I am not a man who would smile hypocritical of opponent, which I think only how to win." Bringing you up to this?
- We have a thing in itself, but for me the question is not whether to be hypocritical. I never wanted to be a hypocrite, to show in a different light or to be something I'm not. If you smile, then do it because I feel it, not because you have to do it.

- Friends you with Novak Djokovic?
- Friends is a strong word. Of course, a good start and we always congratulate. Each of us, especially the Top 10 players, looking to get to the other and overtake him.

- Are you happy with Maria, who is also a great athlete? And you led her ever in Bulgaria?
- It has come here yet, but I hope one day to come. I hope that we will have this opportunity once and just enjoy the time here.

- And what would it shown here?
- Many of the things that even I have not seen. For example, one of the glacial lakes. There are many things that I did not know and want to know. Let's hope that one day it will happen.

- Questioned you about Bulgaria in the world?
- Yes, more and more and more often.

- And tell you their country?
- Yes of course. So far as I myself am familiar. I have no time to go and to know what is happening in the country. But I know that there is always good food, the atmosphere is good and I am proud to say that I am Bulgarian.

- How do you imagine your life in 10 years?
- The only thing I want is to'm happy with my career and what I've achieved. Then start some more real things in life.

- Family, children ...
- Of course.

- Would you make them players?
- No. Of course, I always like if you make this choice, it is really their choice. Perhaps this is one of the best qualities that my parents gave me from the beginning.
