As a child, Dimitrov was coached by his father, Dimitar, at Tennis Club Haskovo. As his talent became more apparent he started to receive coaching from abroad, most notably from Spaniard Pato Alvarez, who has also coached Britain's Andy Murray. Around the time of his success at the 2009 ABN AMRO in Rotterdam, Dimitrov formally began a coaching relationship with Peter Lundgren, former coach of world number ones Marat Safin and Roger Federer. In June 2010 he ended his coaching relationship with Lundgren and was subsequently coached by Australian pro Peter McNamara.Dimitrov and McNamara have ended their coaching relationship at the end of the 2011 season.In 2012, Dimitrov was coached by Patrick Mouratoglou in an attempt to revive his fortunes.On 26 Nov 2012, Dimitrov left the Patrick Mouratoglou Academy and has joined the Good to Great Tennis Academy in Sweden, which is run by ex-touring pros Magnus Norman, Nicklas Kulti, and Mikael Tillström. On October 7, 2013, Grigor announced on his Facebook page that he has hired Roger Rasheed (former coach of Gael Monfils, Jo-Wilifred Tsonga and Lleyton Hewitt) to be his new coach.[Wikipedia].
Technical Point
The best performance Dimitrov d. Berdych 6-3 2-6 6-4 (ATP Miami 3t. 2012)
Dimitrov is an all court player with a heavy emphasis on baseline play. He plays right-handed and employs a single-handed backhand. He considers the backhand down the line as his favorite shot and his favorite surfaces are hard court and grass.[3] Despite this he has had notable success on clay courts as well, with wins over Novak Djokovic in Madrid and pushing Rafael Nadal to three sets at Monte Carlo. His game has been often compared to Roger Federer's (earning him the nickname "Baby Fed") due to the similarity in their ground strokes, particularly off the backhand side. Dimitrov has stated however that he would like people to appreciate his game for its own sake. His lack of stamina/physical fitness and his return of serve have been cited as weaknesses. His serve is consistent and powerful, although lacking in precision.[Wikipedia].
