murray defending his title and dimitrov the mental midget in his first ever ATP final says it all

[brettels]

It's only a 4.5 handicap which Dimitrov covered last time try played

Murray will still win though

[smandur]

Like murray 2-0 , 1,5 is bad price still

Hey guys i put $50 whole dollars on dmitrov i see him winning here gl

[gaebiskon]

mugray lost his serve right away

Dimitrov's been playing very well lately. His service game has gotten lot stronger and so has that slice backhand.

[brettels]

Well I'll be damned, still expect Murray to pick it up.

[MagicDiceFlow]

Dimitrov's playing too good. Forehand is crisp and he's serving lights out against a great returner in Murray.

Murray games spread and set line is toast.

nice choke from baby fed

Dimitrov's serve has always been strong on quick surfaces IMO. Big thing for him is fitness + mental strength, supposedly he worked on fitness in the off-season. Mental aspect I think will come with experience in going deeper in tournaments. He showed good resolve against Baghdatis yesterday after blowing a lead in the 2nd and struggling a little in the tie break in the 3rd.

I have said not to put too much stock into the early season results, but he could be in the Dolgpolov 2010 vein as far as starting quick early and parlaying it into a nice run in Melbourne. The more he plays against guys like Murray, the better. He's got all the tools, it's just the intangibles that he needs to find consistency with IMO. If he does, he's a Top 10 talent with all-surface game.

[gaebiskon]

dimitrov's game has vastly improved but he's still a mental midget on crucial moments

[EaglesPhan36]

Nice TB.


This is where you see the gap between the Big Four and everyone else. Then you start thinking about their ability to do it in best of fives and you understand why there has only been one man to crack their reign in Slams. Delpo and he's probably regressed a notch or two since he won his Slam Title.

o well

[brettels]

Dimitrov is still fresh and young, he will mature and become mentally capable, this i think is obvious. Have always looked at him in challengers, I think its time now he stays on the main tour. future top 20 at the very least.
