Gregory is a great young man who is surrounded by the faithful - from parents to George Stoimenov, they are all extremely important event. I'm just a little bit.

- Grigor turned to me when he realized that he was not involved professionally, and then a few weeks nothing concrete decided. I had to find out that he really wants to be the best in the world and will do anything you ask of him. I'm not a coach, because I love the professional tour, but to change something, to relax, to win, to do it all with passion and without apology. Too many players blame external factors, but it is important to be honest with yourself this before you decide to take up. Gregory I want to achieve most of our work, and I see no reason that it can not reach the top male tennis. It all depends on how much he wants.
