I hope Sofia will host this tournament for many years to come, Goran Djokovic said. Four tennis players who currently rank in the ATP Top 20 will take part at Sofia Open- Karen Khachanov, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev and Roberto Bautista Agut. Stan Wawrinka who won three Grand Slam titles is also expected to participate at Sofia Open.
