47-shot rally between Gilles Simon and Grigor Dimitrov

Grigor Dimitrov, a 17-year-old up rising star from Bulgaria, goes toe to toe in a protracted baseline rally against world no.7 Gilles Simon at the ATP Marseille Open. Dimitrov has beaten Tomas Berdych and has taken sets off top ten players such as Nadal and Simon this year.

I kept waiting for a drop shot after about 8 hits and then I remembered Federer wasn't playing...

I'm sick of all you idiot throwing around the word 'pusher'. He's not a fucking pusher, you just think that anybody who doesn't try to end the rally before 10 shots is a pusher. Shut up.

@gerhyuga I disagree. Overall Harrison has been better than Dimitrov. He has beaten a couple of top 20 players and he gave Mardy Fish a good run in the US Open series. Harrison, Tomic, and Raonic have all made an impact on the tour. Raonic has beaten top 20 players, won his first title, and made the AO 4R. Tomic beat Davydenko and Soderling in Wimbledon in addition to making the QF giving Djokovic a good run. Dimitrov hasn't done any of that. Until he does, he can't be in this group.

@Rafathaman94 Harrison ? really??, sorry, but i won't put Harrison in Tomic, Raonic, or Dimitrov group, Harrison hasn't given anything better than Dimitrov last year..he is far below the other three (okey, maybe Tomic and Raonic are a little bit better than Dimitrov)

I really don't know why people say it's Simon who pushes whereas he hits harder than Dimitrov in that point...

@MaratSafinVideos

lol hater, Simon played really well at the MC 2008 especially in the third set with 3 winners to break Federer for example and at the OA with more 50 winners...

[JonathanIppy]

@VTrhythm I know, right?! to be fair if I could 'push' my way to top 10 I would take it any day..and all the people say that he's a pusher probably can't stay in a rally with him for more than 5 shots.

[KyuredLoL]

lol at the top

dim

sim DIMSIM YEAH

[Executor010]

@hykha02 Yes...by a factor of a hundred if he has any chance of seriously being compared to Fed.

[hykha02]

Grigor wanna play like Rog i think,he should improve his game

[Rafathaman94]

Grigor's ok, but I don't think he'll be the next big guy. He's been doind great in challengers, but he hasn't had any big wins on the tour and he just hasn't made his mark yet. He's behind the group of Tomic, Harrison, and Raonic.
