@mrSnakeeye20 well the reason that he volleys so well is because he is so selective about coming to the net. He never really moves forward unless he knows 100% that he can put away the volley easily.
i think Dolgopolov is one of the hardest rivals rightnow, his style of play must be so annoying for rivals as he doesnt let them get rythm in the game
he is very potential player!..in my opinion he will be in top 10 very soon!!..mark my words!..already won ATP title and he can play at any surface which makes him very dangerous!..he plays variety of shots!!..also love his serve..very unusual and unpredictable at same time!!..come on Dolgi!!
CRAZYYY talent and skilll altho unorthodox but hes amazingg lol reminsd me of bagdatis and his fore hand looks lke hes trying to immitate nadal but fail lllol
@iosonodella2i yeah.... but i am pleasantly surprised by his hitting. He seems to be hitting most of them in. But i think his form and shape can require a little more improvisation
Swinging for the fences, using the kitchen sink, etc. will get you in the highlight reel, and the crowd will love it... but it will also get you losses like, 4-6, 3-6, as seen here. He may have to adjust his game slightly.
@technogeek4576 I never said the kid wasn't good. But I think he'd win more if he cuts down on his showy play which also tends to cause a lot of errors.
@hawaiidispenser People say the same thing about Fernando Gonzalez. Thing is if you make them play a different game I don't think they would nearly be as good. It's one of those things where you live by the sword and you die by the sword.
@captainspirou Quite possible. Those hard shots may be earning him points. I suppose part of the answer then lies in an analysis of his winners and errors and how they compare to other players. The real test, of course, is to have him actually play another style and see what happens.
i agonize over footwork instead of playing intuitively, as i was coached. never made me a dime, and has made me cry. These guys love their talents and bring risk and guile out of the toolbox. Learn from everyone.
Dolgopolov has very and impressive shots. I agree with "georgecaz". This boy, as well Milos Raonic, will be very hard to play against them. Another wonderful challenge in the future, such as Federer vs Nadal maybe? =D
dolgopolov would hve beaten most players in this match considering how good he played but his opponent was nadal. this just shows what a monster nadal is on clay courts !!
what a shock maker Alexandr is. Did you see the drop shot at 2:50 ?? He tried it too often though. Nadals accomplishments aside, as a spectator I would rather see the variety and execution of Dolgopolov any day. He is in a clay court final now in Brazil 2011, I hope he continues to rise
This dude's probably saying the same thing as the dudes in the english channel are broadcasting, but i guess saying anything in arabic makes you sound like a terrorist...
@lawrencetimmons94 No offense intended but, you're northamerican right? Only northamericans think everybody is a terrorist, specially people from middle east. They're so paranoic...I'm glad I'm latinamerican, we don't have to worry about terrorists, who cares coming here anyway?
@georgecaz sorry but no hes has speed .....but wacky shots. THat does NOT win slams. He will always be beaten by a top 20 player before he could win anything
Alexandr Dolgopolov does not have the consistency of a top 10 player yet, but he plays extremely well on clay. Great hands and beautiful touch. His style reminds me a lot of Fabrice Santoro and Marcelo Rios. Watch for this guy for French Open 2011.
This is fucking insane! Dolgo has soooo much power, I love his style, its just so unpredictable! Sooooo much potential, my new favorite player, I can see him causing major upsets in the years to come. The commentator is fucking awesome, I love it!
@Triple777ER i agree, dolgo is sure to become a feared player! haha he's so incredible and versatile, i can't wait to see more of him, my fave player as well :)
Dolgopolov is so much different to a great majority of the pros on the tour! Uncanny angles, deft dropshots, unbelieavable reflexes and above all unpredictablility... He is able to upset anyone and it looks like he is getting more and more consistent. I can see him upsetting Nadal at the French Open this year...
Great to hear my favourite commentator (though I don't understand him). YA SALAM indeed.
That dropshot at 2:50 is absolutely outstanding. It bounced off to the side! Apparently, Dolgopolov has some kind of disease, but he seems quite fit in Melbourne right now. Impressive how he managed to trouble Nadal on his best surface, playing close to his absolute best.
LoL dolgopolv is so fuckin strange, im almost sure hes gay huauhuhse, i mean look at the way he walks and hits the ball... so fuckin weird. but still he's kinda talented.
Dolgopov's backhand angle is as weird as Nalbandian's...if he would be more consistent than Nalbandian then he can be a long-time top10 player i believe.
@zdjuve90 Literally, "Ya Salam" means "Oh Peace" in Arabic. Generally it is used to express exclamation, surprise or being impressed. Kinda like the overused "Oh my God" in Western talk.
@imogenf hihi^^ he is Adel al shatti from kuwait : the most famous tennis commentator in arabic world ! arabic tennis fan adore him :)) he was impressed by Dolgo's performance here :)))))))
nadal is a stupid fucktard
he has so fine volleys
and still he fucks around like a little count a halfmeter from the baseline
