Grigor Dimitrov's Game Style

Server

Medium-high

Grigor Dimitrov can really count on an effective serve. Besides giving him free points, this shot allows him to dictate the baseline rally with the forehand right from the start.

Puncher

High

Grigor Dimitrov is a dominating Puncher who controls the game with his topspin forehand. Like the best Punchers in the world, this shot allows him to get a double edge against his rivals: more points & less errors. The single-handed backhand is also played with topspin but Grigor Dimitrov doesn't win enough point on that side to be regarded as an aggressive backhand Puncher.

Tempo Player

Low

Grigor Dimitrov can't be regarded as a Tempo player because most of the time this category of player has a two handed backhand which allows them to take the ball on the rise. Nevertheless, he is capable to play with pace when he has to.

Offensive Player

Medium-high

This is mainly by following the forehand to the net that Grigor Dimitrov uses his Offensive side. 15% of his points are won at the net which stands in the average of the ATP players.

Retriever

Medium

When compared with his rivals, Grigor takes a bigger edge with the forehand by making less errors than by making more points than them. This shows how good of a Retriever Grigor Dimitrov also is. Using the backhand slice a lot, this shot is also more a Retrieving than an attacking shot.
