Grigor Dimitrov vs Stefanos Tsitsipas EPIC Match Highlights | Paris 2023

[@nhatlongvu8896]

Dimitrov is currently at his best form since 2017: good serves, consistent forehands, insane backhands, dangerous slices, exquisite volleys, sensational shots🔥

[@kultura9262]

And physical and especially mental resistance at an enviable level. Even mental strength like never before, it seems to me!? 🤔😃👏🏼

[@virusa111]

Yes currently his mental strenght is unreal, saving 3 + set points when he was down 0;40 vs medvedev in 2nd set at 5;6, today 3rd set 15;40, and many other examples which i cant exactly recall now.@@kultura9262

[@proshepherd]

​@@kultura9262yeah he is playing with tons of confidence

Dimitrov plays a very classic old school gentlemen game. No annoying fist pump, no arms up to the crowd even after winning pivotal points plus no grunting, not a bleep. Gotta love the guy and his breed is dying in the ATP, especially the OHB.

[@coryCuc]

100% agreed.

well, he does fist pump from time to time

[@hiteshmenghwani1086]

[@inigoiraetau1903]

Reminiscent of a certain someone, don't you think?

[@inigoiraetau1903]

​@@oleksandrfedorivwell, everyone does, but he rarely does it compared to a lot of players

[@foreverFreak]

When he is slicing less and Hitting more backhands You know he's very confident.

[@JA-dh7gk]

might just be tactical though, slice worked really well against Hurkacz for example.

[@HeavyTopspin]

And even his slices are more offensive-minded lately.

[@zeddeka]

Depends whom he's playing. The slice worked beautifully against Medvedev.

[@インコ-l8e]

His sharp slice will be a threat to taller players. Moreover, he is hitting his backhand aggressively. His backhand is starting to work as a weapon.

[@coryCuc]

I agree to an extent. He uses his slice which is amazing to set up his down the line forehand. Slice deep and to the corner, pull his opponent off the court then a forehand down the line. When he's on his game, it works perfectly.

[@zvikazvizdic4313]

Last few months of Dimitrov are creme de la creme of tennis, insanely high level and consistency, love it.

[@familiafatmagul6854]

What a shame we won't watch him in ATP finals

[@Lenko83]

@@brownie43212I believe the best is yet to come from Grigor. Even at 32 he is super fit and agile like antelope. Jamie Delgardo somehow managed to raise his confidence level and made him believe he could win those big matches. Grigor is much stronger mentally and this is clear in his last matches. He also has much more power as he gained more muscle weight. I believe around 6 kg and this was also part of Jamie’s plan. Certainly exciting times ahead. Grigor deserves to be in the Top 5.

What an excellent backhand by Dimitrov. Well deserved spot in the final

[@rayc7914]

Dimitrov's mind is at its sharpest - the last few passing shots show he is great at identifying his own bad shots, and the narrow windows of opportunities that come when opponents inevitably take an aggressive position

Probably here best tie break I've ever seen Dimitrov play, that 3rd set tiebreak - unbelievable winners from everywhere that took it out of Tsitsipas hands. Court positioning in 4:26 point is completely Fed like, the kind of aggressive inside the court tennis he needs to play, and that only comes with confidence. Very few players can pull this off, and he's one of them. Hope he wins the final but regardless what a tournament he's had!

[@movdqa]

I love Dimitrov's style - he doesn't hit the ball hard most of the time (comparatively) and he doesn't hit the most spin but he gets to a lot of balls and his placement is extraordinary.

[@gabrielametodieva8360]

Do you mean hard as in speed? Because they showed the stats at the end of the match and the average speed of his FH and BH was faster than Tsitsipas. Also the commentators said that he hits the topspin BH harder than anyone on tour (one hand or two hands). I don’t know why people think he doesn’t hit hard, his opponents always say he’s one of the harder hitters. Maybe because he doesn’t grunt?

[@TheGreatDudist]

The fact that people forget that Dimitrov held the #3 spot and won a master's tournament in a time where Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, and Murray were ALL in the mix and at the top of the game can NOT be understated. Anytime Dimitrov is on and his body is willing, he's going to be a nightmare for ALL of the younger guys. Simply because he's played many many times against players who could do everything THEY can do BETTER than they can. And he's got the knowledge/experience of beating THOSE players. And if he could figure ways to beat the big 4 during their reign, he can definitely find a way to beat these guys just a few years later.
