‘I believe that’ – Grigor Dimitrov still believes he can win a Grand Slam after series of near-misses

[Frenchy-Player]

Not sure of that

Grigor Dimitrov remains hopeful that he can win an elusive first Grand Slam title after a number or near-misses over the years.
The Bulgarian has won eight titles and reached the semi-finals in three of the four Grand Slams, and is still confident of ending that search heading into Wimbledon this year.
“Yeah, of course,” Dimitrov said, in quotes published by tennismajors.com.

"I still believe that. I’ve had it on quite a few occasions. The past slams I’ve had good results. Now, unfortunately, I just have to play very, very good players early on second, third round.
“But I believe that there’s a lot more to come on my end. I think I can push through it and who knows when, what and where? But the only thing that I need to focus on is how I’m going to go on and about.”

Well, it's good to be positive in life.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Well, I never thought Stan would win a slam, so I guess Dimi could pull one out. Doubtful though.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Well, it's good to be positive in life.

That's true. I'm positive that he won't.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[Patriots]

Dimitrov is consistently inconsistent.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Monfils also said something similar a few years ago.

It's good that some of these guys believe in this, they shouldn't have an attitude that they can only reach semis.

And they never said they can win a slam 13 times...

 

[junior74]

As unlikely as successfully hitting 3 backhands in a row

 

[chicagodude]

If you read his words carefully, he doesn't seem to really believe in it himself either. This reads more as somebody who is trying to talk himself into believing it could still happen, rather than somebody who actually believes it.

 

[FrontHeadlock]

8 titles seems very low for a player of his caliber, no?

As a comparison, Isner has 16 titles, including 5 appearances in Masters finals.

 

[gjm127]

Near-misses? A series?

 

[Deleted member 758560]

uso will be his great chance, don't miss it now please, grigor

 

[Adv. Edberg]

What series of near misses? Has he ever been close?

 

[TheNachoMan]

Yeah, I don’t see it.
2017-2018 was his window. I actually thought he might win AO 2018 at the time, then he got blitzed by Kyle Edmund of all people. lol

 

[Frenchy-Player]

I don’t know how he can win a final against a top player, if he struggled with the"good players at the second third round".

 

[Kralingen]

Dimitrov lost to Paire in 4 at the Australian Open this year.

He also lost to an injured, cramping Stefan Kozlov in easily the most bizarre match of the season so far.

Grigor winning Wimbledon (or any slam) would be a great tennis story. I sincerely hope he can do it before he retires.

Mackie in Miami as well.

 

[Goof]

Delusional. AO17 was his only chance (and it was a very small one at that).

 

[ImmorTAL Big 3]

Well Stan has something Grigor lacks mentality and brain.Also he is committed to his country contrary to Justin Bieber fan.However even if by some miracle Grigor wins it it will be half slam compare to Stan because in all his runs Stan defeated Novak,2 times peak Novak plus 1 win vs Rafa and Roger.Grigor would have to beat Rublev or Ruud

Deluded guy!

Needs to learn to beat BvdZ first.

 

[FrontHeadlock]

Needs to learn to beat BvdZ first.

Lol, just a chill, straight sets "near-miss" to BvdZ in the second round of Queen's

 

[Tennfan123]

That AO loss to Edmund was such a howler.

 

[junior74]

What series of near misses? Has he ever been close?

A close 4-setter against Novak in W14 SF. I think perhaps Grigor had SP to take it to a decider. He played great.

 

[topspin_forehand]

At this point Kyrgios has a better chance than dimi. Nick is an absolute beast on grass

Grass is for cows, and cows are beasts, so yes.

 

[Backspin1183]

Good to see the old artiste can still dream.

 

[Fabresque]

Should’ve won AO18, draw was perfect. Cilic dumped Nadal, he had pigeon Edmund in the QF, with a pretty easy route to the final vs *******. But he choked hard vs Edmund. That was the only time he could’ve won a slam.

 

[ChrisRF]

What series of near misses? Has he ever been close?

I thought the same. Must be the first part of his future prediction I guess.

 

[Russeljones]

This is a guy who loses to someone ranked 200 places below him and says: "I learned a lot today." 10 years now.

Dammit, another near-miss for Baby Fed!

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

The only thing Dimitrov is a success at is getting chicks. Hes a failure at everything tennis related

 

[Genious at Work]

You (keyboard warrior who gets paid $0.00/h for your paltry trolling efforts) consider a guy with over $21 million career prize earnings a failure? LOL

ok... Pro athletes are overpaid even if they accomplish zilch, nada, nothing, zero in their career. . Big deal

 

[Bambooman]

Some of those chicks were tennis chicks.

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

He's scored enough off court.

If grigor retires now, he can have a happy sexond career giving lessons to hot cougars in swanky tennis clubs all around the world.

 

[Genious at Work]

You have also accomplished nothing, and you haven't been paid squat. Or maybe Dimitrov has actually achieved far more than you (as if achieving slam SFs were a joke LOL).

 

[ChaelAZ]

Dimi is always one of my dark horse picks, so I think he is right to have that belief.

 

[Nate7-5]

Zero chance

 

[DariaGT]

feel sorry for Dimi, he had so much potential but his long term training in France molded his mind to be more like Clownfils, 1-hit Tsong and Fuzzy Pear

He just has that different kind of Slam material just not in the Tennis department

well put

 

[DariaGT]

well put

He puts it in well is my guess as well

 

[accidental]

He had a decent shot against injured Djokovic at the Aus Open this year. Unfortunately he decided to endlessly rally back and forth with Djokovic rather than actually try and make him move

 

[mahatma]

Lets keep posting and keep this thread up in freq threads till Dimi retires
