Online Baby Games Biography
source(google.com.pk)Grigor Dimitrov is a professional tennis player from Bulgaria. He was the number ranked
junior in the world in 2008 and many experts see him as a future star in the game. So far
he has not quite lived up to the high expectations as a professional player.
One interesting thing about him is that his technique and game very much resemble Roger
Federer. He has been called “Baby-Federer” by many tennis fans and experts.

He Hits A Lot Like Federer Doesn’t He ?
Biography
Dimitrov was born in 1991 in Bulgaria. He comes from a family with a sports background like
so many other professional tennis players. His dad is a tennis coach and his mother
competed in sports as well.
As a junior he had a phenomenal career. In 2008 he won two junior Grand Slam titles at
Wimbledon and the US Open. The same year he also became the number ranked junior in the
world!
As a professional he has not been as successful as many experts expected him to be just
yet. So far his career high ranking came in 2011 at number 52 in the world. At age 20, as
of March 2012, he is ranked just outside the Top100 at position 102 and has not gotten past
the second round of a Grand Slam event yet.
Game Analysis
Grigor’s game looks like a very close copy of Roger Federer’s game. His technique and
movement very much resemble the world’s greatest player of all time.
Technical
Grigor Dimitrov has excellent technique, which is one of the main reasons tennis experts
believe he will be one of the world’s best players in the future.
Forehand
He has a very good forehand with a nice inside-out swing path and he also makes great use
of the stretch-shortening cycle with his forehand. Overall it is amazing how much his
forehand looks like Roger’s forehand!
The Dimitrov Forehand
There is one little difference between the Federer forehand and the Dimitrov forehand
though. Federer hits most balls with a completely straight hitting arm, whereas Grigor
Dimitrov usually has a slight bend at the elbow, similar to most other professional
players.
Even though his forehand is very good from a technical standpoint, I believe that he does
not hit it aggressive enough on a regular basis and he should flatten it out a bit more
often!
Backhand
Dimitrov also hits a technically flawless one-handed backhand that again looks very much
like Roger’s.
He hits with a straight-hitting arm, swings on an inside-out swing path and also manages to
stay sideways throughout the hit. All of the characteristics of a great one-handed backhand
are in place!

Slice
Grigor hits a good slice backhand and also likes to use it quite often. Actually in my
opinion he uses it a bit too often because he should be looking to hit his great aggressive
topspin backhand as often as possible!
Serve
Not surprisingly Dimitrov’s serve looks quite similar to Federer’s serve as well.
The Dimitrov Serve In Slow Motion
As you can see he certainly has a fluid motion. He does appear to be bending the knees more
than Roger though and he does not seem to turn his upper body away from the target as much
as Roger. This is probably one part of the explanation why he does not serve as well as
Roger.
Other things to consider would be the racket drop position and the question of how fast his
muscles twitch in general compared to someone like Roger.
Volleys
Dimitrov is a solid net player. He is not afraid to come to the net and his volleys are
technically very sound on both sides!
He appears to hit the difficult volleys very well but he sometimes does not stick the
standard and easy volleys enough; letting opponents back into the rally when it is not
necessary. This makes sense from my overall viewpoint that he lacks a little bit of
aggression and decisiveness in his game.
He also has great touch around the net which you can see in this video!

Tactical
Now the tactical area is where Grigor needs to improve the most in my opinion!
He does a good job at mixing up the pace and using slices and drop shots to offset
opponents.
Overall he relies too much on slices, drop shots and that sort of stuff. He does not play
aggressive enough yet on average to really compete with the absolute best players in the
world on a daily basis!
I don’t believe it is possible to beat the world’s best players if you spend too much time
on defense these days, no matter how good your defense is. Even someone like link: Rafael
Nadal spends the majority of the time on offense during his matches!
