2016 Stockholm SF - [2] Grigor Dimitrov vs Juan Martin Del Potro

[The Green Mile]

Delpo leads the H2H 3-0, including a win earlier in they year at Stuttgart.
Delpo vs Dimi sounds very entertaining. Hope it lives up to the hype (that I give it).

Dimi nearly gave away the match today serving for the win in set 2. He remains shaky.

He's hitting the ball way better recently since Valverdu came on. Confidence will come back. Next year will be a good year for Grigor if he keeps up...

Unfortunately for him, that 5-20 ranking range is looking like it's get deeper with a lot of guys on the up and up.

He's halfway to 26 with a lot of younger guys breathing down his neck and yet unable to do well against the best of the older players.

He's not an elite server, and he's not an elite returner. I can't see him ever winning big tournaments on a regular basis.

By good year, I meant he might win some 250s and make a slam quarterfinal or 2. Top 10-15 would be a huge improvement from 30 something which he was at not long ago.

Tsonga, Ferrer, Berdych etc are aging, so Grigor should pass them eventually. Pouille, Thiem, Goffin, Kyrgios are already ahead of him. The only young guy about to leapfrog him is Zverev

 

[Russeljones]

Dimitrov will win this easily. I only give Delpo a set due to a mental lapse from the otherwise dominant Bulgar.

Everyone look, someone's trying hard.

 

[Russeljones]

Kind of odd that Ivo had no fewer than 4 breakpoints yesterday. Delpo, however, was ruthless in converting 2/2.

 

[Gytha]

Nice game, Del Potro breaks.

It's been a fun match so far, people who complain about lack of quality recently should pay more attention.

 

[ANDYbhGENIUS]

This match is surely meeting its expectations so far.

No tanking in this one - it can therefore only be a CRACKER!!

 

[Tennease]

beautiful dropper by grisha

 

[Red Rick]

Ridiculous dropper on a defensive shot, and it's not the first one he made this week. Very nice addition to Dimi's game

 

[ANDYbhGENIUS]

FH winner on the rise pretty impressive..,.

 

[Tennease]

Grisha needs more aces.

 

[ANDYbhGENIUS]

Delpo to serve this out; not a simple task, unless he can smack those first serves in.

 

[Tennease]

Good game by Delpo. Could win this tournament.

 

[ANDYbhGENIUS]

Delpo serves the set out to LOVE...

Excellent performance from JMDP. So good to see him play like this again.

Respect for the way Dimitrov keeps the foot on the pedal just after losing the first, 1-0

Mentally he has really grown.

 

[TheMusicLover]

Dimitrov upping his game? Some great BH there.

Great defense and forehand bomb from Delpo.

Great moment with Delpo gunpointing Lahyani with his raquet!
