Dimitrov takes flight in Dubai, off the court

The Bulgarian went zip-lining around skyscrapers before his first

In Dubai ahead of his first match, Grigor Dimitrov decided to feed his adrenaline addiction. XLine, a zip-line company that takes customers up skyscrapers hundreds of feet in the air, let the Bulgarian go on a ride of a lifetime.

He was admittedly nervous, but after it was all said and done Dimitrov proclaimed it was "one of the greatest things I've ever done." Unfortunately, he wouldn't get that same thrill on the court. The top seed lost to Malek Jaziri, 4-6, 7-5, 6-4.
