Who's a better grass court player? Dimitrov or Raonic?

[David Le]

Both players are sited to be all-court attacking players. They both reached the 2014 SW19 SF. Grigor has 1 grass title to his resume(Queens '14) and a 10-6 record at SW19. Raonic has no grass court title, but has a 10-5 record at SW19. IMO, they are both good grass court players, but I'm giving the edge to Dimitrov because his good court coverage on grass, and being more comfortable. Don't get me wrong though, with Raonic big serve, and volley game; he can do damage on grass. But time will tell starting at Queens.

Dimitrov should be regarded as top 5 on grass, tbh.

Who are the top 5? Raonic at least in the top 10 right?

Guys,pls stop overrating Dimitrov and Raonic! These two will never even win a Masters 1000 title

 

[mattosgrant]

Raonic >>> Dmitrov on all but clay.

Grigolo.

Only because there's no masters 1000 on grass

 

[Dave1982]

Right at the minute Raonic has to be considered better than Dimitriov across all surfaces.

Agree that there is an argument to be made for Dimitriov but even with his Queens title, if he and Raonic at their respective peaks went H2H on a grass court 5 times, I'd be tipping Raonic to hold at least a 3-2 and possibly 4-1 advantage at the conclusion.

So u think that Dimitrov and Raonic can defeat djokovic,murray,federer on grass? LOL

 

[Sysyphus]

So far Dimitrov has displayed the better level on the surface. There is currently reason to believe that Raonic is (or will be) more consistent though.

this... but basically neither has maxed their potential in any way yet.

I worry about your common sense, then. There is little to suggest Raonic is the better grass player.

Lol amen, they both suck compared to their hype. Call me when they beat Ultron.

#Preach. So tired of hearing about these guys like they have a chance to upset the status quo. That will happen when Djokovic is in deep decline and probably will require Murray to be as well.

Dimitrov to beat Djokovic ? Dimitrov is just an overhype mental midget like Almagro. Maybe in 5 years time.........

 

[MichaelNadal]

At this point the entire tour is either way past their prime, or unnecessarily hyped. Besides the Terminator of course.

Provided both stay fit I guess we'll just have to wait till after the grass season is finished & see how each fared.

 

[Jaitock1991]

Better groundgame/defence: Dimitrov
Better serve/attacking game: Raonic
Better total: Don't know, but probably Milos

 

[Sysyphus]

Grigor's 2014 grass stats were off the charts, and he had the second best stats on tour that season narrowly behind fed. Yes, he had higher grass stats (% games won) season as a whole than Djokovic, and obviously their Wimby semi was very tightly contested.

Raonic has reached 3 finals.

If Ferrer,Berdych and Tsonga can win a MS1000....I don't see Raonic not winning one after Djokovic gets older/a easy draw.

all down hill from there for grigolo...it's a shame because he did play very well all court attacking tennis in that 14 Wimby and realistically with some more clutch play could have beaten Djoker.

Didn't he get like two set points or something in the 4th set tiebreaker?

 

[top10]

I believe Dimitrov

 

[Navdeep Srivastava]

Overall Dimi because of Queens title but on current form I see Raonic doing good in Wimbledon as grass will put less pressure on his lower body.
