Would be a start.

Playing with a SBH in this era is definition of balls.

As Capello said of the English football team's failures when blamed on lack of winter break or partying: "Loser's excuses"

Yes but Murray is really bulky. Guy Forget said once he was shocked to see Murray's legs and upper body.

Very true. Balls and talent!

I am not happy about Dimi losing. It is sad to see so much nerves.

I'm not happy about him losing either. Another one who got fit, but still carried the mental fragility with it. At 28 doesn't seem he'll ever break through that wall.

Same as Kev in RG this year.

Dead men walking now.

That said, super happy for Stan!

Dimitrov went on to have the best season of his career in 2017. If anything, he’s struggling in 2018 to live up to the expectations of being a top 3 player and WTF champion. His backhand is still relatively poor for a top 10 player though, which I think causes a lot of his problems.

SHBH needs more confidence than DHBHers. Most DBHers are actually DBHers cause they do not have the talent and/or confidence to play SBHs.

I don;t think Murray, Nadal or Djoko would have won anything had they played SBH. The steady BH is a cornerstone of their game.

SO it is tough to criticise a SHBHer nowadays. I do not think Dimi is far off Stan tennis wise but clearly he has not overcome his demons yet and may never will.
