Grigor Dimitrov is the most successful Bulgarian tennis player in history and one of the most elegant shot-makers of his generation. Born in Haskovo on 16 May 1991, Dimitrov earned the nickname “Baby Fed” for a style that evokes Roger Federer’s grace, built around a classic one-handed backhand and an all-court game. A former world No. 3, he has won nine ATP titles — capped by the 2017 ATP Finals — and reached the semi-finals at three of the four Grand Slams. A persistent shot-making threat on any surface, he remains one of the most watchable players on tour.

Analysis

Playing Style & Strengths

Dimitrov's game is built on aesthetics and variety. His one-handed backhand is one of the most elegant in tennis, and his ability to create angles, use the drop shot and transition to the net gives him a multi-dimensional game opponents find difficult to predict. He moves exceptionally well for his height, and his defensive retrieving can frustrate even the most aggressive baseliners.
