Grigor Dimitrov hits a GORGEOUS backhand down the line winner against Matteo Berrettini at Wimbledon.
One of the most beautiful one handers to ever do it.
Dreamy as it gets. 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
This @miamiopen was special, @grigordimitrov.
You amazed us with your resiliance and your determination by playing a fantastic tennis.
Huge congratulations for the fortnight. See you soon on court! 👏
Dimitrov was asked if he ever felt unlucky for playing in the era of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, & Murray
“If you look back on your career, like 10 or 15 years of your career, you are part of that generation which always had to compete against the very best, Big 4, like Roger, Rafa, Djokovic, Murray… Have you ever considered yourself kind of like unlucky because of that, you know, time you have to go through that era, or, you know...”
Grigor: “Totally the opposite, actually.
Totally the opposite. Very lucky.
How often you say I played in an era against the best players and you have beaten them all? It's great. I'm sorry, but I can live with that. You know, all that, the titles and all this, yeah, it's great. But the journey, the ride, it was, for me personally, not having these guys around, it's a little sad.
I don't want to play them, don't get me wrong (smiling) at the moment, but it's kind of sad. I love watching them play.
I love competing against them, and you can always learn something.
I think throughout the years I have had so many quarterfinal matches and third-, fourth-round matches where I had to play against them. But that also maybe shaped me to have that mental toughness and to do certain things different at that point in my career, like them. You can certainly learn a lot from each one, very different.
I think each one had a very different way of doing things, but each one of them had amazing qualities. I think in a way they are the pioneers of nowadays tennis for us. I don't know. I think overall, to have players like that with such a diversity that all of them had, Novak is still playing and Andy, as well, but to really see that is I think going to be a little bit more rare.” ❤️
