"Clearly there is a problem Grigor because you can not show the maximum of their abilities at the moment - continued Wilander. - Still expect him to present a much stronger Wimbledon. Last season he reached the semi-finals and has to defend many precise, so that can not afford to lose from weaker rivals.
Of course, such a thing can happen, but it should not. Like Federer, Dimitrov change his racket in search of more power and will need time to get used to. It seems there is some other problem. In addition, Grigor still not clay specialist and prefers faster surfaces. So watch out for him at Wimbledon. "

Dimitrov : "It is difficult to accept this loss"

"I'm disappointed, but the sport is so, there is always a loser - continue Grigor. - Jack played very class today, and I often take wrong decisions. Do not move well on the court and in general I am not satisfied with his performance because he showed that which I am capable. It's hard, because I know I did not play at the level here last year, when I dropped in the first round by Ivo Karlovic, but had to accept defeat.
Jack is a very good player, but it should not affect me. Taking advantage of the chances for a breakthrough today and it prevented me very much.
