Peter Bodo: '' Grigor is the most progressive player on tour ''

Editor of "TENNIS Magazine" Peter Bodo devoted much of his material, which draws attention to Grigor Dimitrov constancy last season. Bodo is clear that he personally Bulgarian is the most progressive player in the ATP Tour.


Here is an article expert:

''Hung him the nickname Baby Federer about 5 years ago, mainly due to the great one-handed backhand. But sometimes you have to wonder if held for a successor to the mighty Federer never more than baby steps to stardom.

Child spread to Dimitrov. Now 23, in 2014, took a few steps toward the giant elite status. Personally for me it was the most progressive player on the tour.

Other players can also assign honor. Stanislas Wawrinka won the Grand Slam, Masters Cup and the "Davis" Kei Nishikori became the first Asian Grand Slam finals, and was crowned Cilic US Open.

But they all have their own history long before the 2014 season to Dimitrov had never set foot in the top 20, but in recent months has increased to №8 and welcome the new season on the 11 th position in the ranking. But more importantly, it is a platform to make the final leap to the top.

Dimitrov won titles in three different surfaces: hard courts (Acapulco), clay (Bucharest) and grass (Queens). The conclusion is that Grigor is flexible enough to be a factor at all major events.

Its versatility would mean so much if not for the fact that Dimitrov build endurance. 50-18 season record and balance in the last eleven months developed credibility and focus that are needed for the top 10 and keep it.

Learn to win - day after day, regardless of the conditions is an important task for any young player. But doubly important for Dimitrov - a mercurial talent, a shot is a combination of intuition and quality.

Dimitrov - dark-haired, slender and wiry - Samples deep in the culture of the tabloids after becoming girlfriend Maria Sharapova in 2013. It is clear that the relationship is more entertaining than a motivator.

But the most impressive this year to Dimitrov, it is only twice at the start of the tournament throughout the season. This extraordinary show of perseverance, many Grand Slam champion. For comparison - Wawrinka lost the first match in the tournament four times in 2014.


Other events of the season were Dimitrov season victory over Raonich in Australia, both beating Andy Murray - one of the semi-finals in Acapulco and one in Wimbledon, where Dimitrov shocked reigning champion in the quarterfinals.

Dimitrov then reached the final in Stockholm, where he won in 2013, but failed to defend the trophy after losing to Tomas Berdych.

Perhaps, the past season was the last lesson that should be taught Dimitrov. And now it seems that he is ready to come on big boy pants.''
