Unbelievable one handed-backhand winner by Grigor Dimitrov.Amazing rally against Simon

[hattrickster33]

Simon is such a pusher

[ArjunJethwa]

God Simon is so fucking boring to watch

[zPLchwdp]

dimitrov is so a big talent but also sooo lazy..can't unterstand why he stop with his progress...lost to awful players in 2011...don't think hat he will come into top 20 ever with such an attitude

[ignacioambort]

woooooooooow i wasnt expecting THAT

[gg2000gg2000]

definitely luck

[monica012077]

WOW! so much power, as much as Federer, and he doesn't look like Safin though he is handsome but he does have that "Safin swagger", starting to get a serious tennis crush on Dimitrov

[ChioTheMaster]

damn.. he looks a lot like Safin!

[ssonosk]

lol "whoa"

[theone225]

oh my god!

[azasel]

i´m fan too

[365to173repubsPWNED]

Federer with about 15% less power

[xitrik94]

"WHOA"

[fastmilion]

guys u gotta admit he kinda got lucky look at the end of the backhand swing its not like the regular he twisted his hand i think he lost control but still got it... but overall i like his backhand better than his forehand

[eminemtennis]

unbelievable

[g0r3tiful]

Any news from Dimitrov since the incident with the Umpire?

[GrigorDimitrovfan]

@g0r3tiful He will play AO,now his is 1st seed in the Q

[starlafur]

@GrigorDimitrovfan was he punished at all though>?

[TheVanopslagh]

That is the most wicked onehanded-backhand winner i ever seen.

[scruffmaster11]

he will play top 50 soon... i'm sure.

[arnidios]

This kids good! he just won like 3 consecutive challengers in a row! and making strides towards the top 100! the next rising star of Tennis, reminds me abit like Federer plays with the same finesse and style.

[Ralzaly]

"whoa" the commentator couldnt exaggerate on the whoa cause he was almost speechless

[grAdinarov89]

to be more accurate he just won back to back 2 challengers and is now 146th

[theoriginalsafinette]

what's going on with this kid? why hasn't he made any moves?

[GrigorDimitrovfan]

@theoriginalsafinette he is doing well...starting to play futures and challengers...moved with 100 places just for one month....this is the right way...now playing QF in Geneve and have a great chance to be in top 200-around 186!!!Before 2 months he was 360,so its good for him ;)

[theoriginalsafinette]

@GrigorDimitrovfan thanks for the update. i really want to see him do well. he's got what it takes.

[bambucha2005]

@theoriginalsafinette now he is on 142 place,before 2 months were in 350... :)

[theoriginalsafinette]

@bambucha2005 thank you!

[simobgbgbg]

@theoriginalsafinette he is curently placed 134 in the world after wining 3 consecutive challengers!

[theoriginalsafinette]

@simobgbgbg thank you!

[bamibalboy]

@theoriginalsafinette dimitrov is 106 atm

[PhoenixJuice]

@theoriginalsafinette he was 350th till summer 2010 when he finally started again to play like that. He won few tournaments, few challengers and now is going to be inside the top 100. He played @ Australian open this year and won vs the world number 38 Andrey Golubev in straigh sets and then lost to Stanislas Wawrinka in the second round.

[ikky85]

nice footwork movements by gigor...

[simobgbgbg]

mamka my :@ mn se qdosvam za6toto e mnogo dobar gri6o a vse ne6to ne mu dostiga da e v top 100! AIDE GRI6a! ^^

[Monsterenergy791]

His form is very good on both wings (not Simon)

[BrotherTree1]

i like this guy grigor.

[nadalbg]

@gunsfederoses you are really not okay

[elmagrafan]

you can;t compare one player to antother ,like Dimitrov to Federer as each person has individula and characteristic movements and as each has a unique movement and body posture it;s just not right to compare to guys because each of us is different and no matter how hard one would try to copy anothe his shots would still end up acording to his body and his movements.Therefore,even though I believe that Dimitrov is definitely a talented guy it's stupid to compare him with federer

[brandon672008]

his forehand is more like safin's than federer's

[qbeckki]

nothing special.

[GrigorDimitrovfan]

@qbeckki

ahaha are u ok

[kinetik44]

dimitrov is like kobe-roger hybrid

[BrotherTree1]

i prefer dimitrov so much more than pathetic bernard tomic. LOL.

[revkins]

The next Federer.

[tyruk]

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why you should all adopt the one-hander over the two-hander. With the right technique and a lot of talent you get shots like that.

[Sundin456]

@tyruk I'm sorry what's his rank? The best in the world are two handers. The only top one with a single hander is Fed and Almagro.

[DirtyNutsCompany]

he was in my tennishall in sweden on wednesday

[nipal1234]

what a missile!!

[goko88]

wow, that was good. his coach actually thinks he might be better than federer. let's wait a decade and see

[oneminutetomidknight]

i actually laughed so hard when he hit that last backhand

[oneminutetomidknight]

lol why did i get a thumbs down for that comment?

[destoroy4]

because you suck

[oneminutetomidknight]

i love you too

[Filankidjiqta]

@oneminutetomidknight what a bloody retard

[Lionheartpride]

Wow!! That last backhand was awesome. This kid has a great game, though many say he´s just mimicking Roger. I hope he gets to the top 100 by next year. It´d be great for the tour to have such a talented youngster playing.

[89Pleasek]

Nadal is now 23 and has 6 slams. Federer had 4 at the same age. The thing is, Federer was winning 2-3 Slams for 5 years after he turned 23 and is now at 15 (probably 16 after the US Open). Let's see if Nadal can manage the same feat. If not, comparison is useless. Particular players peak at different ages - Nadal at 19, Fed was a late bloomer - 23.

Btw, that backhand winner was the freaking hardest hit slice I've ever seen. This young lad has got good technique - possibly the future no 1.

[funsport23]

rafa is best to 4 years

[mitroveca]

why do you think the backhand winner was a slice?! it was a ripping topspin just the ball was too close to his body thats why it looked a little awkward

[spiridoncheto]

Now he is 276 in world ranking.Before one year he was 750...

[365to173repubsPWNED]

I actuall think Richard Gasquet is far more talented and WAS more of a Phenomenom than Dimitrov...but Dimitrov seems to have Federer-like focus...which is good. Gasquet is living in his own world....

[magicalgrasshopper]

i can see why they say he could be the new federer

the natural ability is there but i think the game comes more naturally to roger the grogor,

talent just isnt enough,so so so much more goes into being someone like federer,talent is just the beginning,the rest is hard work,mental strength,determination,luck just to name a few things

[Samprasisthebest]

I think its too early to call this kid the next Roger Federer or Pete Sampras. He seems to have a sweet backhand, but no dominant modern era player has had a better backhand than forehand.

[magicalgrasshopper]

i think gasquest backhand is better then his forehand but he is not quite as dominant,and it looks like his career could be over.what shame,so so so much natural talent

i wish he was more competitive

[demondayzzz]

kuerten, hewitt?

[usamaj]

Oh my god!!!!!, I dont know about roger, because roger's prime is close to ending in the next few years, but this kid's backhand will be kryptonite to nadal. the topspin on that, is something nadal is not going to be able to deal with, added to the great forehand and the federerlike loose serve. Multiple wimbledons in the future. most talented 17 year old i've ever seen, and im including nadal on clay

[vazelos1986]

nadal won with 18 french open u cant compare someone who is with 17 nr300 in the world with nadal who was with 17 already top 100 its a different level!! of course that kid has the talent and will come for sure if he keeps working hard under the top 100 but u cant compare him with nadal already !!!

[usamaj]

this kid turned professional, two months ago, so you can excuse not being in the top 100 right away?. and he won the junior wimbledon and the junior us open, first time it's ever been done.

[vazelos1986]

yeah but this still doesnt change the fact that u cant compare him with nadal who won with 18 french open when he also wins 5 granslam titels then start compare him

[xenero]

Federer won his first grand slam when he was 23. That's five years after Nadal, does this mean you can't compare Federer with Nadal?

[vazelos1986]

when dimitrov starts winning grand slams then u can start comparing them now its a bit 2 early 4 it....

[SouthFamilyDad]

federer was 21 when he won his 1st slam

[TennisUSTA]

Why is it always these two? lol But that's okay because it's nice watching two hotties making great shots.

( :

[robinho1979]

He looks good..very sound off both wings...not as fluent and graceful as federer..his movement needs working. But he's only 18 and many years to improve. like to see him in 2-3 years time.

[windstakeshape]

I'd like to see him play Roger!

[manco82]

The next Federer!!!

[amaraps]

He looks smooth like Federer but hes not very good at net and doesnt take the ball as early or time it as well as Federer does. He is only young though and will get better no doubt.

[alywen06]

Aye its good but cant really compare him to federer atm his swing and movement isnt as graceful

[Enegyxo]

They will meet again with Simon on Wednesday at Queen's

[yaglourt]

simon wins 7/6 7/6

yet hopeful for dimitrov, we'll se at wimby

[docrely]

thats the best backhand executed by a one hander these times of course next to federer's

[nali82]

i agree, i also like Gasquet's backhand.

[yaglourt]

what was that backhand o_O

[maikeulkeul]

Next Sampras/Federer! he looks like Safin lool

[ettumifilii]

i think dimitrov will be a top ten player soon but tomic wont

[mitko1fed]

kav e toq deto komentira macha we hahah bomben backhand ahaha ili iztoshtitelno po pravata...toiq ima li si ponqtie ot tennis..

[mitroveca]

toq e bivsh igrach a ti si goliam razbirach kato sedish u vas na fotioila i daje ne si fashtal raketa sigurno a puk i nishto greshno niamashe v komentara i backhanda beshe bomben i razigravaneto beshe iztoshtitelno

[IricForset]

Awesome. I can see Tomic and Dimitrov keeping the rivalry between single handers and double handers alive.

[boycottyou27]

He plays like Federer:)

[thePeshko]

Bateee...

A taka Grisho! Aide napred i nagore!
