Grigor Dimitrov stops match to help ballgirl struggling with the heat

Grigor Dimitrov stops match to help ballgirl struggling with the heat

It might not have been the match he was able to win, but Grigor Dimitrov won over a ton of fans with his kind gesture on Sunday at the Sony Open.

The 16th-ranked player in the world was in a first set tiebreaker with Kei Nishikori when he noticed one of the ballgirls with what looked like a touch of a heat stroke. The young lady was struggling to get Dimitrov his towel, and after signaling a few times he went over to assist her to the sidelines.

Dimitrov used a timeout to get the girl the needed attention, and despite a straight set loss to Nishikori, he was the man on Sunday in Miami.
