"Proud to see my besties on the latest cover of Harper’s Bazaar US"- Grigor Dimitrov on Venus Williams and Serena Williams
Grigor Dimitrov is a close friend of Venus Williams and Serena Williams and the Bulgarian expressed his delight at seeing the two on the cover of Harper's Bazaar US.
The Bulgarian posted a picture on his Instagram story with the caption reading: "Proud to see my besties on the cover of Harper's Bazaar US".
In a recent interview with the fashion magazine, Serena Williams said her sister has always been her role model.
"I never started out to be a role model. You were always my role model. I did everything that you did, and even down to just how I behaved off the court and how I behaved in life and decisions that I've made. I really always tell people, 'Don't always look to the athletes or the stars to have a role model. Your role model could be right in your house."

Dimitrov has not had a particularly good start to his season, winning four out of eight matches so far. He reached the semifinals of the Melbourne Summer Set but followed it up with a second-round exit at the Australian Open.
Dimitrov then reached the quarterfinals of the Delray Beach Open before being eliminated by John Millman. He followed this up with a first-round exit at the Mexican Open in Acapulco. Dimitrov is currently ranked 35th in the world.
The Williams sisters, meanwhile, are yet to play a match in 2022 with Venus' last match coming at the Chicago Ladies Open. Serena's last match was at Wimbledon last year. The American faced Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the first round but had to retire due to a leg injury she sustained during the match.
Both sisters have fallen in the WTA rankings, with Venus ranked 470th and Serena 236th.
