"My son asked to get one, I said no"- Novak Djokovic teases Grigor Dimitrov about his love of bracelets, jokingly tells him off for influencing Stefan

Grigor Dimitrov recently participated in a light-hearted Q&A session where he responded to questions asked by other players on the ATP tour. The questions were informal and casual, with the Bulgarian answering several questions about his life and lifestyle.

The Q&A session consisted of some prominent players including Novak Djokovic, Tommy Paul, Alexander Bublik, Hubert Hurcakz, and Felix Auger Aliassame.

Djokovic asked the Bulgarian about the latter's affinity towards Van Cleef bracelets.

"All right Grigor, we know that you are a great fan of the Van Cleef bracelets. How many of those you got?" asked Djokovic.

To which Dimitrov cheekily replied that he had more Van Cleef bracelets than what the Serb could wear on his wrist.

"Novak, more than you can put on your wrist, man. I am a big fan of the Van Cleefs" Dimitrov replied.

Djokovic then brought up how he was not in favor of his son, Stefan wearing the Van Cleef bracelets.

"Oh, by the way, my son asked to get one and I said no you're not going to wear a Van Cleef bracelet at nine years old. He's like but then why Dimitrov is wearing?" said Djokovic.

Djokovic went on to remark how Dimitrov's love for Van Cleef bracelets had made him a topic of discussion in the Serb's household.

"So just to let you know, you've been the talk of the house."
