What a player Grigor is.His level at this match were so much better than the previous rounds.Go all the way,Grigor.Not only a beautiful game,but a heart as well.Keep it up !
They both respect each others and are very good friends. NK words to Dimi at the net are nothing but respect for him. How Dimi was asking the crowd to applause NK at the end was a recognition of his talent. That's how it should be in tennis. It was a thrilling match
Soo proud with Grisho , he is our true hero , and Kyrgios , what a player , what a talent. We had 2 winners today + the hosts , Australia you are the-best grand slam hosts by a looong shot , keep up the good work and keep your head's up.Love from Bulgaria , i will vote for you in this year Eurovision!
Dani Vallverdu emotion is fantastic though... No wonder this trainer gets the best out of his players... When he was with Murray, 2 grand slams and olympic gold; with Berdych he brought him to his best world ranking (#4) and since he is with Dimitrov : AO semi final, Masters champ, several big titles... Kudos to Grigor of course but bravo Dani!
Amazing performance by Dimitrov today. There arent many players who can beat an in-form Kyrgios. Dimi is definetely a favourite to win the tournament. He has stepped up his game.
So impressive to see Dimitrov improve his game so much between now and the last round. Great game for Kyrgios. I hope he'll win the AO open one day, such a talented player. What a match.
As a huge Kyrgios fan, It's obviously disappointing to lose the match through tie breaks. But he has definitely shown to everyone that this year he has massively improved his attitude. In previous years, he would have lost this match 3-0 and probably only won about 10 games. He kept fighting until the end and there is no shame in losing to an ever-improving Dimitrov in four sets. Congrats to Grigor, and let's hope both these fantastic players continue this from into the season.
These AO highlight reels are fantastic but it would be great if the video screen didn’t show the winning player. Maybe show both? I’d love watching these not knowing who won until the end
Absolutely agree with OP. I watch the highlights because I couldn't watch the game. Doesn't mean I won't watch the following ones, it's obviously not the same to watch the full game and 5mn of it. It would be nice indeed. Other highlights channels do it and it's great you can watch highlights with some sort of suspense.
ONE OF THE BEST MATCHES EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE TENNIS GAME !!! I AM BULGARIAN AND EXTREMELY HAPPY FOR GRIGOR'S VICTORY !!!! HIS OPPONENT IS MY SECOND FAVOURITE TENNIS PLAYER. NICK HAS AMAZING TALENT AND SKILLS ON THE FIELD!!!! BOTH OF THEM ARE GREAT,GREAT PLAYERS.
Yes! The thumbnail gives away the winner. A more subtle(tragic) point is that most highlights of any set consists of points won by that set's eventual winner, even if the set goes to 6-6. Eg: 1st set highlights didn't even show a single winner by kyrgios, final set score 7-6. One just simply doesn't get the taste of either the set or the match from these AO highlights.
ayush maggu gee be grateful AO is the only slam to ever upload long highlights! Other slams (wimbledon cough*cough) strike copyright to those who upload the highlights on youtube
That is some insane quality tennis there..... Just look at the stats; The winner/UE ratio, the first serve percentage, the aces, total points won, the net game, they're all in the positives (Except maybe the double faults). Winning 3 tiebreaks against one of the biggest and accurate servers in the game (Not just accurate, nor just big serves, but the combination of both) is a mercurial task.... Even Federer has a 3-3 tiebreak record against this Aussie. Hopefully Grigor doesn't choke on his QF.......
Id say Dimitrov's confidence is the highest its ever been and will be the most likely to break thru and win a grandslam this year.Aussie open may be the 1st of many.he has definitely raised his level and belief this past year and now its his time to shine as long as he can keep his emotions/frustration in check so scoot over Djoker Fed & Rafa here is Grigor...lol
Would have loved to have seen Nick win this one, it seems he's been working hard on being more sportsmanlike and putting more effort into matches. I'm rooting for him.
What a match? Such hard hitting yet very clever all round game from Dmitrov. Hes actually evolved and blossomed as a very powerful player. The ATP Tour finals win and recent successes have done a lot of good to his game and he looks very solid. Rafa will be worried and will start rehearsing his injury excuses
Yes, I'd say vice versa. The wins definitely brought a lot of confidence, but they couldn't have come without the correct training and strategy that Vallverdu brought to Grigor's talent.
Desi Remixx grigor was good n has been in great form recently but how can u compare him to rafa y would he do what u said n just to let u know 16 majors n 31 masters with top ranking and all these achievements have come in presence of roger novak roddick safin murray n wawrinka if u take just one man out of these rafael nadal would have easily been the leading gs winner..grigor might be number one some day but will never come close to roger or rafa
That was nice at the net, I think Nick said ''believe in yourself, you can win this thing'' Grigor is finally hitting top form...about time otherwise he'd been on the plane back home by now!
A very tight match with a good technician against an explosive player. Perhaps Dimitrov has more trust on him since his master's championship. So we 've seen the tennis of the future after the thirties will be finished. Just one game and thirteen places shares hus. Nick must be more regular to touch first places and Grigor has just to wait his turn.
Mentally, Dimitrov is much stronger which has made the difference. Would love to see a final between him and Fed. It would be like watching mirror images.
Dimitrov proved a lot people wrong by Beating Gyrgios in 4sets. the courts seems little faster than before, tons of Aces & winners, at end Dimitrov used his speed & stamina to beat Nick shot making & Aces ability ( Nick had 36 Aces ).
Nadal will have his work cut out with Dimitrov. It is from here on in that his ATP finals title will stand to him. I expect him to make the final on this showing. Krygios was unfortunate.
Grigor was better in this game by far.True it was a close result but no chance for Nick even for a single moment. Grigor controlled the game all the way through.
At the end Dimitrov said "hell of a fight Nick" I suposse Nick was at 100% focus, he wanted to go much further in this tournament and that was somethin he needs to do more often. Expression on his face after final shake sayz it all. He can do some big stuff just needs to be focus. And a little bit of luck also...
Nick kyrgios words at the and: "believe you can win the tournament believe in yourselfe"
How fair is that
Thats class
KT Frak You mean at the net?
+ Frak WOW did he really say that ? that's amazing
Warrior Son You are silly.
707ladytee yes
Aleksandar Kan Yeah so great
Mature Dimitrov! Well done! You made us proud once again! All the best to Nick this season, amazing player.
Turned the doubters into believers. Stunning performance by Grigor Dimitrov , stepped up his game when it matters the most!
So true...I doubted him before this match. Now I believe that he can beat Rafa with this game and reach final! Looking Insanely determined!!
Chintan AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What a player Grigor is.His level at this match were so much better than the previous rounds.Go all the way,Grigor.Not only a beautiful game,but a heart as well.Keep it up !
Tried his best to choke away the 2nd and 4th set in hilarious fashion, but luckily for him Kyrgios is just absolute trash
Fake Name beaten Novak fed and Nadal before but yeah totally trash 🤔
This is GS, you must have great mentality, Grigor better than Nick tonight, Grigor win, just simple thing.
he is trash
Grisho showed the GREEK SWAGGER who the boss is
They both respect each others and are very good friends. NK words to Dimi at the net are nothing but respect for him. How Dimi was asking the crowd to applause NK at the end was a recognition of his talent. That's how it should be in tennis. It was a thrilling match
Dimitrov's game looks better than ever, and as for Nick, there's always next year. Wonderful sportsmanship at the end!
Soo proud with Grisho , he is our true hero , and Kyrgios , what a player , what a talent. We had 2 winners today + the hosts , Australia you are the-best grand slam hosts by a looong shot , keep up the good work and keep your head's up.Love from Bulgaria , i will vote for you in this year Eurovision!
Best Match of the AO 2018 so far! :)
I agree it was an awesome match but Thiem vs Pella does it for me. So good
I agree, it is the best match... a final-like match. hard luck kyrgios.
Nice gesture at the end of the match
Great sportsmanship
Dani Vallverdu emotion is fantastic though... No wonder this trainer gets the best out of his players...
When he was with Murray, 2 grand slams and olympic gold; with Berdych he brought him to his best world ranking (#4) and since he is with Dimitrov : AO semi final, Masters champ, several big titles...
Kudos to Grigor of course but bravo Dani!
interesting
Vallverdu really is a top trainer, he brought Dimitrov's tennis to a completely new level. Hats off to both !
Dani was a happy camper this time, unlike in the previous 2 matches lol
That guy's a sexist...not cool. Glad Murray got rid of him.
Why a sexist ?
Amazing performance by Dimitrov today. There arent many players who can beat an in-form Kyrgios. Dimi is definetely a favourite to win the tournament. He has stepped up his game.
Joe Publico They don't look so dominant right now. People said Federer will win WTF,but we all saw who won it
Emil Pancharevski rafa, roger and nole are still the favorite.
Michele Gavelli I don't think Nole is a contender...He is not close to his best. I doubt he will reach the final
Emil Pancharevski let’s see what he does against Chung.
Emil Pancharevski I agree. However I think I see a fedal final in the works
Epic match, brilliant performance by Grisho. He proved himself as one of the best in the world, masterclass!
So impressive to see Dimitrov improve his game so much between now and the last round. Great game for Kyrgios. I hope he'll win the AO open one day, such a talented player. What a match.
Haha, everyone said that he was going to lose this match because of his form etc. He proved everyone wrong and that’s why he’s a champion. Go Grigor!
Jonathan Lindstrand Nadal will easily beat him.
Nadal looked pretty sloppy in his match so IDK man
Plasmality sloppy rafa>>>>>>>>>>>>>prime grigor
With this game Grigor can beat Nadal!
As a huge Kyrgios fan, It's obviously disappointing to lose the match through tie breaks. But he has definitely shown to everyone that this year he has massively improved his attitude. In previous years, he would have lost this match 3-0 and probably only won about 10 games. He kept fighting until the end and there is no shame in losing to an ever-improving Dimitrov in four sets. Congrats to Grigor, and let's hope both these fantastic players continue this from into the season.
How nice of Nick. "Believe".
Great to see such a talented player live up to his potential, picking up from where he left off last year, great Gregor!!!
It has to be said.. thank you Australian Open for uploading decent long match highlights !! The other gran slams should learn !
These AO highlight reels are fantastic but it would be great if the video screen didn’t show the winning player. Maybe show both? I’d love watching these not knowing who won until the end
Ha ha same feeling here!!
Soon RGarros with 2min highlights !
Totally agree!
I'd say you rather watch the actual match 😊😊
Absolutely agree with OP. I watch the highlights because I couldn't watch the game. Doesn't mean I won't watch the following ones, it's obviously not the same to watch the full game and 5mn of it. It would be nice indeed. Other highlights channels do it and it's great you can watch highlights with some sort of suspense.
I think both grigor and kyrgios is a great player and i love the way kyrgios become more mature this year
So happy grigor and certainly against Nick makes it so mush better
4.45 kyrgios says believe, believe that you can win the slam. That is friend goals right there
Baby federer nailed it today😘😘. What an execution of elegance and patience. It was such a nail biting match. Kudos to dimitrov 😍😍
Still so proud of Nick. Wanted him to go all the way. Lots of tough competition though. Such an amazing match!
Were they gonna kiss at the end or what
Yes and they are gonna kiss you too, next
Ahahaha😂🤣
gay
Niels i was waiting for that
Niels IKR
Dimitrov is a very stand up guy look at the credit he gives to kygrios at the end
The thumbnail makes Grigor look like a saint
ONE OF THE BEST MATCHES EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE TENNIS GAME !!!
I AM BULGARIAN AND EXTREMELY HAPPY FOR GRIGOR'S VICTORY !!!!
HIS OPPONENT IS MY SECOND FAVOURITE TENNIS PLAYER. NICK HAS AMAZING TALENT AND SKILLS ON THE FIELD!!!!
BOTH OF THEM ARE GREAT,GREAT PLAYERS.
Давай Гришо!

The match of the tournament so far both players were amazing but grigor was just better
if that was your match of the tournament you should get yourself checked
Fake Name what's ur say which match..and 8 people have agreed with me
I can't remember a single match that was worse than this shit today
And I don't give a shit how many braindead morons like your comments lmao
Saurabh Chakarborty fake name has the best brain n he feels all others r morons
Fake Name noooo, I think you just have a differing opinion from the majority. There’s no right or wrong in this situation, you’re just being an ass.
That is some insane quality tennis there.....

Dimitrov is a beast
Final point is unbelievable !
That’s was such good sportsmanship from Dimitrov and and nick
Well done Grigor, a great game with no gamesmanship, grunting, distraction techniques or foul-mouthed language. A real professional player.
So basically Nadal for grunting, Federer for foul mouthed, Djokovic for distraction techniques.
Come on now-the truth hurts. Kyrgios does in one match what the others do in a lifetime.
Two great sportsmen! What a match!
Id say Dimitrov's confidence is the highest its ever been and will be the most likely to break thru and win a grandslam this year.Aussie open may be the 1st of many.he has definitely raised his level and belief this past year and now its his time to shine as long as he can keep his emotions/frustration in check so scoot over Djoker Fed & Rafa here is Grigor...lol
Both players are outstanding!!
Dimitrov is so good
Yep
dimitrov is one of the best player world will ever witnessed in tie breaks🔥🔥
Would have loved to have seen Nick win this one, it seems he's been working hard on being more sportsmanlike and putting more effort into matches. I'm rooting for him.
The best match of the tournament with no doubt
Thank you Grisho!
I enjoyed watching it. I really like tennis. :D
What a match? Such hard hitting yet very clever all round game from Dmitrov. Hes actually evolved and blossomed as a very powerful player. The ATP Tour finals win and recent successes have done a lot of good to his game and he looks very solid. Rafa will be worried and will start rehearsing his injury excuses
Desi Remixx or vice versa
Desi villager go prepare cow dung instead of talking shit
Yes, I'd say vice versa. The wins definitely brought a lot of confidence, but they couldn't have come without the correct training and strategy that Vallverdu brought to Grigor's talent.
Desi Remixx grigor was good n has been in great form recently but how can u compare him to rafa y would he do what u said n just to let u know 16 majors n 31 masters with top ranking and all these achievements have come in presence of roger novak roddick safin murray n wawrinka if u take just one man out of these rafael nadal would have easily been the leading gs winner..grigor might be number one some day but will never come close to roger or rafa
Avais Shah true
You guys are amazing tennis players
Nice sportsmanship at the end of the game
Браво Гришоо! Good job mate!
I love you both grigor and dani . 😍😘
Nice embrace at the end
Grigor dimitrov the gentleman of tennis hope he wins Australia open wont be easy tho
SUPER GRISHO!
the have finally put their minds together
That was nice at the net, I think Nick said ''believe in yourself, you can win this thing'' Grigor is finally hitting top form...about time otherwise he'd been on the plane back home by now!
640abdalla True
Loved being at this match
Sportsmanship at very best
I thought they were gonna make out during the net exchange. Keep that for the locker room fellas!
We all know we want to see roger and dimi go at it!!!
Well played nick. Keep working hard
Grigor always hit the ball in simaler manner to Roger. This is the first time I've seen him actually play like Roger tho.
Great match.
Fantastique match ever 😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘👏
Bravo Grigor napred majstore
This is the Kyrgios that I like. Don't worry, we'll get there.
Good to see Kyrios fight back and make it a match. Maybe this is his year. I would like to know Dimitrov said to him at the end though
Good job Grigor Dimitrov and Nick Kyrgios
Im disappointed Nick, but you did your best.
I still think one of the big three will win the title, but Dimitrov is going to give them a hell of a fight. It'll be an interesting 1 week.
the FIGHTING SPIRIT OF BULGARIAN bravo Grisho
the thumbnail look like Jesus
No one knows what Jesus looks like
Lmao
Good Sportsmanship
I feel a Dimitrov/Kyrios rivalry is in the makings.
A very tight match with a good technician against an explosive player. Perhaps Dimitrov has more trust on him since his master's championship. So we 've seen the tennis of the future after the thirties will be finished. Just one game and thirteen places shares hus. Nick must be more regular to touch first places and Grigor has just to wait his turn.
Mentally, Dimitrov is much stronger which has made the difference. Would love to see a final between him and Fed. It would be like watching mirror images.
Well done
Great for Grigor...
Anyone else see them slip Dimitrov an extra point in the second set tie breaker? L O L
so much lust at the end in Kyrgios eyes when handshaking Grigor, they'd made for a lovely couple
МАЧКАЙ ГРИШО
Dimitrov proved a lot people wrong by Beating Gyrgios in 4sets. the courts seems little faster than before, tons of Aces & winners, at end Dimitrov used his speed & stamina to beat Nick shot making & Aces ability ( Nick had 36 Aces ).
0:54 CUTIIIIIEEE 😍😍😍
This guy is cute lmao 😂😍
36 aces geez
Where is the same Grigor? :( I want him to win major...
Travesty if these two don't win slams.
Dimitrov will win a Slam this year
I hope Dimitrov or Thiem win this AO
Samuel Gómez Rodríguez thiem will never win a slam.
and Dimugtrov will? lmao
Doctor Whomst'd've'nt yes he has the skills
Samuel Gómez Rodríguez Thiem lol he’s never winning a slam on hard court.
Yeah, losing to dead-tired Edmund in your best slam is surely a sign for many more things to come
Don’t show the winner in the thumbnail
Hope he will beat Rafa. It would be great to see Dimitrov vs. Fed in the final.
Nadal will have his work cut out with Dimitrov. It is from here on in that his ATP finals title will stand to him. I expect him to make the final on this showing. Krygios was unfortunate.
dimi and hes coach is handsome..and they should be together..
Machkaiii Grishoooo!
Grigor was better in this game by far.True it was a close result but no chance for Nick even for a single moment. Grigor controlled the game all the way through.
良い仲だな〜＾＾
At the end Dimitrov said "hell of a fight Nick" I suposse Nick was at 100% focus, he wanted to go much further in this tournament and that was somethin he needs to do more often. Expression on his face after final shake sayz it all. He can do some big stuff just needs to be focus. And a little bit of luck also...
Kyrgios: biggest second server since Pete Sampras?
Often going big on second serves is a classic sign of being hopelessly inferior in rallies
Hopelessly inferior in rallies, like Pete Sampras?
Мачкай Гришо🥰💪
4:25 Service out 100%
I always saw Dimitrov as mini Federer lol.
It's not an insult to be gay, that's like saying it's an insult to be heterosexual.
