Rafael Nadal with Epic Win over Grigor Dimitrov at the semifinal of Australian Open

27 Jan 2017

"Dimitrov won. Nadal won. Everyone at RLA won. These kind of matches lift our sport up onto its shoulders. They are a gift we can enjoy every single day of the year." wrote Craig O'Shannessy, Australian Open Expert "It was an epic encounter that could have easily seen Dimitrov finish the victor. In fact, the Bulgarian arguably played the match of his life, but walked away with a loss. Tough loss."

After 5 hours of play Rafael Nadal guaranteed his place in the final after winning in 5 sets6-3 5-7 7-6(5) 6-7(4) 6-4. The Spaniard will flight Roger Federer on Sunday for the trophy of Australian Open.

After this excellent appearance Grigor Dimitrov will be either 12th if Rafael Nadal wins the title or 13th - if Roger Federer wins in the next Monday's ATP Ranking.

The Bulgarian fans of Grigor Dimitrov will not wait long to enjoy more of his brilliant play. Dimitrov will definitelybe the most applauded by the home crowd during Sofia Open in Arena Armeec during the week of 6 February. The other stars of the main draw will be Dominic Thiem, David Goffin, Roberto Bautista Agut, Viktor Troicki, Philipp Kohlscreiber.

#1: I'm a huge fan and a tennis player myself. To be clear, most of the ball boys/girls could probably beat me in tennis. :)
I have paid attention to your playing style and your game for about 5 years now. Watched a lot of your matches. You are the player to watch when Federer retires. Your movement, inside-out forehand, serve and backhand are all very very good.
If I may, there are only two things to think about.
1. Your forehand down the line from the ad side could be more forceful.
2. Since you have such a good serve perhaps serve and valley a little.
I grimaced at 1-1 in the fifth set against Nadal. Looks like you tried to push off with your left leg and came away limping... I was hoping you weren't injured.
Good luck and have fun out there!

#0: Well done Grigor. Winning clutch points would have sealed the match in your favour. Best of luck in the next tournament
