Former coach of
Grigor Dimitrov believes the Bulgarian
tennis star is a ‘ beast’ player and a box office to watch for the fans.
The 32-year-old is often regarded as one of the most
underrated tennis players currently playing in the circuit. Dante Bottini was
recently quoted in a report where he was full of praise for Dimitrov and called
him a ‘beast’ player.
"He is an exceptional player, one of the most talented
on the circuit," he said. "Physically he is also extraordinary, he
takes great care of himself, he is a beast. Tennis-wise he is one of the great
talents, he throws shots that almost no one does. The backhand with slice is
crazy, the one-handed one too.
“He is a player who is a pleasure to watch; You pay an
entrance fee for it. When it is bad it makes you want to leave because it
hardly competes, that is the great weakness. He suffers when he is not well
emotionally and he transfers it to the field; he shows it. Now..., when he's
happy, he can make a mess and gives you the best show ever.”
The world number 13 did not have a great time on the court
in 2023, especially in major events where despite playing in the main round of all four Grand Slams, he could not qualify for the quarterfinal or beyond in
any of the mega-events.
