Dimitrov gets closer to Fed-class everyday...

[SoBad]

The handsome, intelligent, talented, newer and better version has arrived straight from Varna.

He is a wonderful player, but he needs to step up... otherwise he won't get anything

I'm just hoping he can start trending upwards more expediently, as I'm hard pressed finding a guy who had yet to title and be in the top 50 by the age of 22 who went on to join the top ten and/or be in a Slam final. Yes, he has time, but in my humble opinion, he's not trending in the right direction fast enough.

Took a while for janko to get to where he is now. A lot had to do with training and professionalism.

If grigor can hit the ball just 5% heavier and get his first in 5% more often, he can be top ten. He s very close IMO
