Man from watching a lot of grigors practice videos, I can see that he's honestly on the same level as most of these top 10 guys like thiem, tsitsipas and zverev, with even more natural talent too, but his level of play, aggression and consistency just significantly drop in match, his biggest problem is simply confidence
Based on firsthand experience, I always found that one-handers tend to have a pretty solid two-hander, but the reverse isn't true. One-handers can rally pretty well with a 2hbh, but two-handers can't hit a 1hbh for their life.
@@DeeeFoo from my experience, 2HBH is esier to practice, especially for beginners or amateurs. It is also a "safer" weapon in a real match, it not only can help player defend, attack or keep advantage in rallies. On the other hand, the players who do 1HBH will give a more beuatiful shot with more surprises for the rivalry, it is not easy for the opposite player "predict or guess" where the 1HBH shot will come to, it also means 1HBH goes along with more risks
@@DeeeFoo I think part of that is that you can absolutely his a 2 hander as a choked up one hander with the left hand there for moral support and have it look half decent. so even if you've never hit a 2 hander in your life
Tennis players are just so awesome. They are severely competitive, yet helping each other practice to warm up and get better. Still the gentleman's sport.
Grigor's strokes are some of the most aesthetically pleasing in the game. He's right up there w/ Federer (whom Grigor clearly emulates). Perfect mechanics. All he needs is the belief he can beat the Big Boys and he'll be a mainstay in the Top 10 for sure.
my understanding is that his work ethic could use improvement. there's no doubt in my mind that he's got the talent and skill, but I felt like he ran out of steam this year at the us open. He was really unloading on his shots against federer and the next round his opening set against medvedev was similar stuff, but then it seemed like he ran out of steam. I feel like his fitness and strength just wasn't there to make it all the way through an entire grand slam of 5 setters.
Seems like something was happening with Thiem's backhand...he seems to be reluctant to hit the drive. And when he hits the topspin shot, he seems somewhat hesitant.
After watching this one has to wonder why is there such a gap between Grigor’s ranking and Dominic’s? Grigor’s talent is undeniable, but consistency is the key 🔑
Is it easy to tell that Dimitrov's left arm is smaller than his right? Makes sense since he's a tennis player with a one handed backhand but am I imagining how obvious this is visually?
The key for these up n coming guys for beating the so called big three is, they should have Federer's amazing, magical talent, Djokovic's steely, unwavering resolve, Nadal's indomitable fighting spirit. Which all the three have to varying degrees. Without these, they will just be like the rest of the top ten from 4 to 10, almost there but just not good enough to overcome. Only guys like Murray and Wawrinka got there or came close. That or just wait for them to get old or be injured and retire. 😅
Grigor's footwork is not as efficient. He is usually far behind the baseline and doesn't go to the balls diagonally like Federer. His FH is also not that big, he misses a lot of backhands, his serve is not overpowering and shot selection is not as good. Once in a while he can produce a deep run, but he has a game that can lose to a lot of lower ranked players.
Thank you for the great tennis content. Love the quality of these videos
The racquet skills on these guys are insane
The pinpoint accuracy on 1st serves are awesome to watch.
cbr9927 also the second serve when they use the kick serve
Can’t stop loving Grigor’s style for a moment. Amazing stuff.
The best part about this is that you can tell they're good friends, joking around with each other during the practice.
They seem to have so much fun practicing together, that s what i call a good practice ... you feel so loose and calm. Great Video!

so true !
@cristi dules thats total b.s. thiem is just way more consistent. Dimitrov is not lacking much other than focus and consistency
It's what sets apart n1 and n500 anyways...
So true and his double faults and he is mentally weak sometimes I wish he sorts it out cause on his day he’s so good.
sorry thats not it. Its his decision skills throughout the match thats the issue. Read Sharapova’s book.
2:11 two single handed players compete for who has better two-hand-backhand
Based on firsthand experience, I always found that one-handers tend to have a pretty solid two-hander, but the reverse isn't true. One-handers can rally pretty well with a 2hbh, but two-handers can't hit a 1hbh for their life.

I'd say Grigor, looks more fluid
@@DeeeFoo Because almost all 1 handlers had. Two handed to begin with but transitioned to a 1 handed at least in my experience and I have a 1 handed

A one-handed backhand is so much more beautiful!!! The real tennis 🎾. Thank you guys. Roger is proud of you👍
WOOOOW, how good they are... incredible. the ball was floating all the time!!!
That was some seriously high level practice. Those kick (2nd) serves had me seriously drooling!
kick is the 1st serve bro, slice is 2nd
@@ronenfishman8796 no kick serves are used for almost every second serve. First serves are where you hit it flat/slice.
Slice is first, underhand serve is second.
That running backhand at 5:26
Dimitrov is an extremely talented man. Quite amazing what he's capable of
1:11 that’s a BOOOMB !!!
almost killed that guy behind Thiem
Endrit Muhadri 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for uploading this. Great to see the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making these guys champions.
thanks for the amazing videos!!
Thanks for putting this video on youtube. I learned a lot watching this match. Patience!
これでも勝てないって、本当に「ATP」は化物ばかりだな。。
Everyone talking about the shot at 1:11 but the shot at 1:33 is one of the most ridiculous I've ever seen. Sheer audacity.
uw10isplaya reverse grip behind the back!!!
thanks for such a good video!
point starting at 5:19 thats the dimitrov we wanna see
Thank you for uploading this!
thanks for the vid and great edit! keep it up!
We are a beginner's tennis UA-cam club.
Thank you for the wonderful and informative video.
I'll come often.
3:58 damn...what a rocket!!
They look like close friends and recall me the time I always enjoy with my club's members: sporty and inspiring.
5:51 look at where Thiem hits that ball from. Above his head lol.
@Flavia Ştefania Zamfir What?
Must use earphones to watch this video then you will know how hard they hit !! Love the ball striking sound!!
Watching their refined skills was happy time.
I particularly like their backhand volley.
1:11 that guy almost died and didnt realise it
Lmao
he is Nico Massu, the Thiem technical director :o
"That guy" haha
No, bro. Girgor definitely disappointed him. He expected a more accurate shot. =))
8:39 that kick serve... BOOM
Why Grigor is not top 10, Grand Slam champion etc...? This guy is insane!
Wow Dimitrov Is really bringing the heat in practice. Thiem certainly doesn't look 100%
He wasn’t at his best in fact
Amazing video.
Dimitrov was using double handed backhands, nice !
Grigor’s serve is more like an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Speed and power!
Dimitrov strokes are so smooth
4:58 Jesus, how incredibly quick Demitrov's return is. Crazy.
And now Thiem is the champion
Dimitrov's service return reaction speed is incredible.
1:11 Damn that must have been at least a 9000 mph
Nine thousand and one
I could watch Grigor hit backhands alone all day.
Seems like something was happening with Thiem's backhand...he seems to be reluctant to hit the drive. And when he hits the topspin shot, he seems somewhat hesitant.
I believe he was working on his slice from what I read in a different thread.
1:10 👀👀
After watching this one has to wonder why is there such a gap between Grigor’s ranking and Dominic’s? Grigor’s talent is undeniable, but consistency is the key 🔑
Thiem went on to lose to Fabbiano in the first round of this tournament because he was still recovering from an illness and was far from 100%
5:20 what a point 🤩 Grisha and Domi roxx. And I need the 6:26 2nd serve and the slice right after in my life
Is it easy to tell that Dimitrov's left arm is smaller than his right? Makes sense since he's a tennis player with a one handed backhand but am I imagining how obvious this is visually?
Jay Sean I think Federer’s is smaller
大音量で聴くと戦争ですね
5:30 what a backhand ! insane, without stop
Holy cow. Dmitrov has insane hands. 🤯
That's a good looking Two-hander! 2:11
I like how each player was like Oh heres a shitty volley feed....and heres a ridiculous winner attempt. one after another.
Thiem can even hit his 1HB with an open stance.
1:35 wow

ディミトロフのフォアフォーム良すぎ
That shot at 5:27 from Dimitrov was fascinating
I didn't realize Grigor was going bald.
1:11 - Missed him..😀
are they playing at full intensity? or is it more like 70%?
thanks for uploading maybe novack next time?!
ua-cam.com/video/xUMCATaywko/v-deo.html
Nishikori video pls???
dimitrov is very athletic
8:24 that not main hand catch was impressive, haha
01:10 Hey Nicolas Massu is over there, be careful.
Dimitrov: I dont give a fuck
I think Dimitrov racket head size is bigger than Rogers.this looks humongous
champion UsOpen 2019?
Nicolas Massu training them ❤🇨🇱
Dimitrov is built like Spider-Man damn
That kick on 8:37
영상 잘 보앗습니다

Masuu estaba al final tirándole bolas al Ruso?
2:14 looks like a seasoned double-handed backhand!
Dimitrov looks very solid
both of them have the ppotential to win slams
who’s the one in red nike shirt
Camera info please. 😎
この人達より錦織強いってどんだけ強いんだよw

Looks like Grigor best him like 6-2

It seems so easy, then you try to do and it's hard...hard...so hard.
Yep especially when they rally and they hit the ball consistently straight at each other
Dimitrov looks much better than Thiem.
Holy s&*% at 1:34. WTF!!!???

1:11 fuck !!!
おハゲ
Thiem was playing sooo bad in this one..
