Congrats to Dimitrov. Hopefully this will be the kick in the butt he's needed.

It is always great to see a tennis player winning their first ATP Tour title. The expectations are high for him, therefore everybody will expect him to follow this up soon. He has been very patchy so I am still not convinced this will mean more than it is, a 250 level title. Top 10 is still far away for him, top 20 is now within his reach.

what do you mean 'kept man' :huh:,

just because sharapova is a few years older than him and has millions ?, that's a bit reactionary.

Nice to see Grigor finally get a win against a very quality opponent in a final! I am quite pleased for him and this could, but then it could not, be the shot in the arm he needs to start really scratching his way up the ladder to the clouds.

Maybe Rasheed is a good coach for Grigor ? his pupil won his 1st tourney 2 months after they started to work together. Congrats to both of them

Congrats to Grigor on his maiden ATP title. :clap Had to defeat the bulldog to claim it. David looks very unhappy.

Missed this final but was delighted to see Dimitrov won his first title. Hope it's the first of many. Probably way too early for that but I live in hope. Murray will likely catch up a good bit on Ferrer who took his number 3 spot, as I personally see zero chance of Ferrer defending his Paris masters title.

its the end of the season and a lot of players are tired...this is a good time for the lower level players to win titles.HE seems a little weak to me...no depth to him like a Rafa or Roger..or Raonic who is near his age.I think he lacks something intangible....

Same for me, Ferrer hasn't played well since Wimbly. He won't certainly win Valencia and Bercy this year. he seems to have lost his legendary willingness
