How much would he have won then? Dimitrov is basically a more talented Federer in most aspects of the game. More power from the ground, more power on serve, backhand not as vulnerable to moonballs, quicker, tenfold times fitter, better touch at the net.
Federer is a very scrappy player, like Santoro but with a big serve. He gets overpowered during most points, but sticks around and defends and finds a way to win points anyway (maybe the best defender on tour because of this). He does this through sheer grit and hard work to make up for his lack of talent, and has found a way to keep improving his game even into his mid-thirties. Imagine if he had some talent and natural athleticism to go with this. How many slams would he have then?
