That is the question. With all that talent, why can't he break through to a bigger level of results? Why does he constantly disappoint? I don't know how much it matters that he's over-hyped to us, as fans, but that he's perhaps been over-hyped to himself. Toni Nadal once said that it's better to base your career on hard work than on talent. A simple statement, but it says a lot. Great champions start with talent, but launch from there with also ambition, hard work, commitment and innate competitiveness. A lot of talent might be seductive, if you believe that's all you need. I think that was Nalbandian's shortcoming. And it might be Dimitrov's.

I thought Roger Rasheed was going to kick his butt on fitness and hard work, but nothing came of it. He seems to lack the fire-in-the belly. Maybe he's just comfortable being handsome and making lots of money. When it's time to get your knuckles bloody, he seems to scarper away.

Grigor says we'll see how hard he's worked in the off-season as 2017 gets underway.

Not sure you can teach some of the intangibles he seems to lack... but at least he's talking a big game. Here's hoping.

Andy Murray Unsure if Dimitrov Can Win First Major http://www.tennis-prose.com/bios/andy-murray-unsure-if-dimitrov-can-win-first-major/

After Andy Murray lost in three sets 67 64 63 to Grigor Dimitrov today at Miami Open I asked Andy the following question: “Dimitrov is kind of in the position you were at earlier in your career – hasn’t been able to win a major – Do you think he has the qualities to break through to eventually win that first major?” Andy’s response was very interesting: “Yeah I mean yeah it’s possible for sure. He’s performed well in a few slams and had deep runs and had big wins as well. But it’s not an easy thing to do. I know that myself. And the group of guys that are coming up behind are really really good players as well. It depends a little bit how they develop too. A lot of them are huge guys big guys with big games and move well. Certainly possible that he wins a slam but nothing is a given in this sport. I know that. I have a lot of experience in that. You just have to wait and see.”
