Grigor Dimitrov and Sebastian Korda both experience the same problem when wearing pricey timepieces.
Sebastian Korda appeared to be strolling the elegant city’s streets prior to his opening match at the Monte-Carlo Masters when two motorcyclists approached him and took his watch. The most important point of this whole narrative is that neither Grigor Dimitrov nor Korda suffered any injuries (more on that in a moment). Furthermore, there is a reason why someone would only take Korda’s watch and nothing else, in case that question is raised.
Korda was sporting a watch made by Richard Mille that was estimated to be worth over 300,000 euros—the appropriate term for a piece of jewelry with that kind of value. That is equivalent to almost $320,000. I hope the watch has insurance. Since the entire incident involving Korda took place during the day, it is evident that the Monte-Carlo police department is not doing a very good job of deterring criminal activity.
Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for tennis players to have their timepieces stolen. In 2023, as Grigor Dimitrov was playing in Barcelona, his watch was also taken from his arm. The distinction was that while Dimitrov was operating his vehicle, his side mirror was accidently struck, and while he was adjusting the mirror, the individual who struck the vehicle also stole Dimitrov’s watch. Coincidentally, Dimitrov was sporting a Rolex watch that bore a striking resemblance to Korda’s.
Grigor Dimitrov and Sebastian Korda had similar experiences.
Once more, the player was unharmed in both situations, therefore it is reasonable to believe that the thief only took the watch and sold it. Given that a motorcycle was involved in both of these occurrences, tourists and gamers may also infer a pattern. Contrary to popular belief, the objective is not to wear the watches.
Despite the event, Korda managed to win his opening match at the Monte-Carlo Masters. Dimitrov was forced to allay worries about his wellbeing by taking to Instagram. He was alright. Paradoxically, despite being heckled, Dimitrov also prevailed in his debut encounter.
Since tennis players can be seen wearing whatever their sponsors want them to wear during a match, watches and jewelry have always played a significant role in the sport. This is not the case with contact sports. This resembles free advertising in a way. For both the player and the sponsor, that makes sense. That does not, however, imply that a thief can part with an expensive watch from the gamer. Perhaps the owners ought to have updated their motorcycles to something they were truly interested in.
