Dimitrov is currently at his best form since 2017: good serves, consistent forehands, insane backhands, dangerous slices, exquisite volleys, sensational shots🔥
Yes currently his mental strenght is unreal, saving 3 + set points when he was down 0;40 vs medvedev in 2nd set at 5;6, today 3rd set 15;40, and many other examples which i cant exactly recall now.@@kultura9262
Absolutly. Im really happy with his perforando. Its an outstanding player, and it deserves. His playing style now a days ita the most near to see RF and thats make happy too..
Dimitrov plays a very classic old school gentlemen game. No annoying fist pump, no arms up to the crowd even after winning pivotal points plus no grunting, not a bleep. Gotta love the guy and his breed is dying in the ATP, especially the OHB.
@@JA-dh7gk Probably is nice to have something that one of the greatest in all time don't have, that's the biggest achievement actually for Grigor and ATP 1000 Cincinnati.
@@brownie43212I believe the best is yet to come from Grigor. Even at 32 he is super fit and agile like antelope. Jamie Delgardo somehow managed to raise his confidence level and made him believe he could win those big matches. Grigor is much stronger mentally and this is clear in his last matches. He also has much more power as he gained more muscle weight. I believe around 6 kg and this was also part of Jamie’s plan. Certainly exciting times ahead. Grigor deserves to be in the Top 5.
I agree to an extent. He uses his slice which is amazing to set up his down the line forehand. Slice deep and to the corner, pull his opponent off the court then a forehand down the line. When he's on his game, it works perfectly.
Really happy to see Dimitrov so focussed and hungry on court again. Hope this gives him extra confidence for next season. Always played well in Australia in the past.
Sad for Tsitsipas - he had a good tournament; the fire is still there, and we are here for it. But happy for Dimitrov - I'd like to see him win a Slam - whether Aussie or SW19. Beautiful athletic tennis from both.
Dimitrov's mind is at its sharpest - the last few passing shots show he is great at identifying his own bad shots, and the narrow windows of opportunities that come when opponents inevitably take an aggressive position
Dimitrov is that classic oldschool type of player that we just dont see anymore. this is what he can do when on top of his game.. smooth real classic beautiful to watch shots. and the way he goes about himself just a top bloke. what a ripper final it should be 🔥😎
Dimitrov always had the talent. When he showed up, i thought he could be the new roger federer based on his style and skills. his mind is stronger now with age. He is playing on another level. Impressive.
Part of it is end of the year fatigue eliminating some good players. In this case though, Dimitrov has just been on fire. Anyone who watched him back in 2017 knew he was capable of this though!
Dimitrovs backhand in this match was absolutely unbelievable. Constantly hitting the sweet spot, no rush in his motion, always leaning on the ball, matching pace... Poetry in motion today. Bravo Grigor🎉
I'm a Stef fan and wanted him to win but I am happy for Dimitrov it clearly was a more important win for him. It's been a while since I see him bring in such a consistent performance with very few errors. I hope he wins this.
Probably here best tie break I've ever seen Dimitrov play, that 3rd set tiebreak - unbelievable winners from everywhere that took it out of Tsitsipas hands. Court positioning in 4:26 point is completely Fed like, the kind of aggressive inside the court tennis he needs to play, and that only comes with confidence. Very few players can pull this off, and he's one of them. Hope he wins the final but regardless what a tournament he's had!
Dimitrov has always been a great talent and he's also a very nice guy, a class act. He's easy to cheer for and tennis is always uplifted when he's playing well.
Progression,détermination, physical fit,experience and fighting spirit is the key of new Dimitrov. He is régénérated . Good chance for final and May be Australie open . Good hopes !
seems like he can and dont ignore the fact that he wins more than 99,9% of professional tennis players. he is no djokovic but he has still great success.@@blucat4
Both Grigor and Stefanos have been playing aggressive tennis this week, but i feel the difference is Grigor has more variety in his backhand and he plays the net better too. Grigor still has his mental yips, but i would love to see him qun this.
Beautiful tennis from both players but especially from GD!!!! He's been playing really well the second half this year!!! His form is second best to THE GREAT ONE (FED) and just as wonderful to watch!!! Can there be a AO slam in the future!!!??? Hope so!!! Great to see two players with one handed backhands!!! Always a pleasure to watch!!!
So good to see Grigor playing consistently well. So deserves to lift the title. Both players were playing lights out tennis with a style of one handed backhands you don't see enough of these days and going after their shots.
I love Dimitrov's style - he doesn't hit the ball hard most of the time (comparatively) and he doesn't hit the most spin but he gets to a lot of balls and his placement is extraordinary.
Do you mean hard as in speed? Because they showed the stats at the end of the match and the average speed of his FH and BH was faster than Tsitsipas. Also the commentators said that he hits the topspin BH harder than anyone on tour (one hand or two hands). I don’t know why people think he doesn’t hit hard, his opponents always say he’s one of the harder hitters. Maybe because he doesn’t grunt?
The fact that people forget that Dimitrov held the #3 spot and won a master's tournament in a time where Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, and Murray were ALL in the mix and at the top of the game can NOT be understated. Anytime Dimitrov is on and his body is willing, he's going to be a nightmare for ALL of the younger guys. Simply because he's played many many times against players who could do everything THEY can do BETTER than they can. And he's got the knowledge/experience of beating THOSE players. And if he could figure ways to beat the big 4 during their reign, he can definitely find a way to beat these guys just a few years later.
What a fantastic match from two players who have all the shots, all the skill in the world, and neither has yet to play consistently up to their potential.
🔥What an amazing match! It was pure joy to watch. All the hard work is starting to pay off and Grigor seems to finally starting to unleash his true potential. His place is in Top 5! With such a game and toolkit of shots, he just needs a bit of consistency and he will be there soon. He has a real chance to take the title tomorrow and the whole of Bulgaria will be behind him. Sorry Nole, this time I will be against you. You’ve won enough titles 😅 and I must support our boy! Давай Гришо! 🇧🇬💪
As someone who have played that game on a semi-professional level for almost 11 years - the way these guys return services is simply astonishing. The level of tennis within the top 100 is simply astonishing for a person as me who did that for so many years and I considered myself good at it, having won multiple matches and tournaments. I have trained all my life and was considered quite talented, yet the level here is simply from another planet. Not sure this can be understood from a non-player, the level of these guys is simply immense.
Mi è sempre piaciuto il suo gioco, ma adesso è in un periodo di stato fisico e mentale stratosferico e gioca da Mostro.....Spero vinca il Torneo...se lo merita tutto !!.......Forza Grigor..💪🦾
Qué preciosa explosión de alegría tras su último y espectacular punto. Se lo merece y ojalá gane la final al 🐐. Impresionantes golpes en el tie-break final. Es un superdotado técnico y físico. Ojalá consiga un grande, 🇦🇺 por ejemplo. Viva Bulgaria 🇧🇬 Viva #Dimitrov
Dimitrov is currently at his best form since 2017: good serves, consistent forehands, insane backhands, dangerous slices, exquisite volleys, sensational shots🔥

That final tie break by Dimitrov was INSANE! Amazing tennis
I'm *so* glad he didn't choke it away like the first tiebreak. He went for it!! 🥲
Страхотен Григор Димитров.❤❤❤
@@plamenrogozanski4329 I agree 💯% ❤ I'm really enjoying watching Grigor play with such passion & joy for a change ❤
Stef was also very passive in the tb. He should of been more aggressive while serving.
@@maimou you're right
Dimitrov plays a very classic old school gentlemen game. No annoying fist pump, no arms up to the crowd even after winning pivotal points plus no grunting, not a bleep. Gotta love the guy and his breed is dying in the ATP, especially the OHB.
100% agreed.
well, he does fist pump from time to time
Reminds me of some other guy as well.
Reminiscent of a certain someone, don't you think?
@@oleksandrfedorivwell, everyone does, but he rarely does it compared to a lot of players
Recent plays Dimitrov is showing are insane
Finally he find the MENTAL PART WRIGHT of his game...
He is unbeatable if he tried his best !
@@Freedomon832 against djokovic he will mentally collapse, but hope not ofc.
@@ZondaRbgAnything is possible. Nobody saw that he can actually beat Alcaraz, Medvedev and now Tsitsipas
@@imajinads i agree. i predict a 3d set and a long match...
Dimitrov finally playing the tennis he usually only does on the practise court.
Nadal never won Finals instead of Dimi !
lmao what is this take?
Dimitrov played like that in US Open but sadly he faced Zverev who made him run a lot

@@Lenko83 yes a late bloomer but he is blooming!
When he is slicing less and Hitting more backhands You know he's very confident.
might just be tactical though, slice worked really well against Hurkacz for example.
And even his slices are more offensive-minded lately.
Depends whom he's playing. The slice worked beautifully against Medvedev.
His sharp slice will be a threat to taller players.
Moreover, he is hitting his backhand aggressively.
His backhand is starting to work as a weapon.
I agree to an extent. He uses his slice which is amazing to set up his down the line forehand. Slice deep and to the corner, pull his opponent off the court then a forehand down the line. When he's on his game, it works perfectly.

Veteran!Come on!He is not that old yet...:)))
@@bogdantenev2764 32 is the age of a veteran in every sport, it's just that nowadays veterans last longer lol
Yes! He still has the love for the game.
INDEED!!!
more Dimitrov like this, please 😀. So happy for him! The final tie break was insane!
He defeated Medvedev and Tsitsipas with same result 6-3 6-7 7-6
Ye thats insane🤯
Bulgarian warrior 💪
and defeated Alcaraz too
Thanks for the information
And had to defend his service from a brake at 15:40 and 1:1 games in the third set against both Medvedev and Tsitsipas. What a coincidence 🫠
the matrix is glitching@@nenkoandreev9894
I wish he had won some Grand Slams: the way he plays tennis is sublime. It is pure elegance.
never too late... hoping for some deep runs next year, we'll see.
I am constantly amazed at their ability to return first serves. The skill level of these players is incredible. Very good match
You need to ask Djokovic how?
One of the finest performances of his career. Outstanding win.
There is literally no one that do not love this man, and his elegant play. NO ONE!
This is our guy!
Congratulations, Grisho!
Very classic, very elegant Eye candy for tennis lovers.
That's why everyone love him!

Успех на финала!
Можеш да спечелиш и го заслужаваш!
What an excellent backhand by Dimitrov. Well deserved spot in the final
Dimi playing so well makes it a lot less sad that Roger retired. Beautiful tennis.
Yea that backhand is a thing of beauty when he really let's loose on it. Reminds me of Fed when he started to just go for it.
Soooo happy for Dimitrov! 😊😊
Dimitrov always had the talent. When he showed up, i thought he could be the new roger federer based on his style and skills. his mind is stronger now with age. He is playing on another level. Impressive.

Something magical about the Paris tournament. Always creating oustanding stories
For me the Nalbandian shows will always be in my memory. That might be the highest level of indoor play ever.

No but is reminiscent.

last three winners was insane
in the zone!
This is truly Fed style Dimitrov. Classic, beautiful
I cannot describe how glad I am to see these moments for Dimi, he deserve that!
I see Dimitrov in the best version of his career, I am excited to see him go this far and I hope he wins a title here, he deserves it so much.
his wimbledon run to the semis in 2014 is my favorite still
i’ve never seen grigor hit so many stan the man BH DtLs before.. just beautiful, i am here for it!
