10 Tennis Players Who Could Take Over The Sport

9. Grigor Dimitrov

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8QV_Uw3poo If a poll were to be conducted among tennis experts to determine the man most likely to dominate the sport, the runaway winner would surely be Grigor Dimitrov. It seems to be a question of when he will take home one of the big prizes rather than if. Dimitrov is still only 23, but it feels like he€™s been around for a very long while already. Blessed with uncommon talent, grace and fluidity of movement, the Bulgarian was christened 'Baby Fed' many years ago and has laboured under the expectation that he is the natural heir to Roger Federer€™s peerless legacy. Fortunately, 2014 has seen Dimitrov blossom and become a commanding presence on court. No more so was this evident than when he dismantled defending champion Andy Murray at Wimbledon and gave Djokovic all he could handle in a losing semi-final effort. His elevated profile as the fiancé of Maria Sharapova has not adversely affected his performances, and his title win at Queen€™s Club and subsequent run at Wimbledon lifted him inside the top ten for the first time. Why he could take over the sport: A versatile serve, powerful groundstrokes from both sides, good volleying technique €“ Dimitrov has it all. One swallow does not a summer make, but he seems primed to justify the many favourable predictions about his future. It would be genuinely surprising if he didn€™t figure in future grand slam finals and contend the number one spot.

I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
