A month ago the Bulgarian, who tested positive for Covid-19 during the Adria Tour exhibition organised by Novak Djokovic said he was not sure about playing.

“I don’t know if I am going to be able to recover that quickly in order for me to fly again, and I have to put my body through a really rigorous regime again… I want to say it’s ambitious for me to go play but I am just really not sure how my body is going to respond,” Dimitrov said.
