A couple of months ago, I did a very rushed, badly-written entry on Grigor Dimitrov, who had by then won both junior Wimbledon and the US Open, and scored his first ATP victory as a wildcard in Basel.

 

Yesterday, he backed up much of the hype by upsetting Berdych in Rotterdam 46 63 64. Fedophiles may notice a slight resemblance between this junior World No 1 and a certain Swiss No 1. Rafael Nadal up next for the youngster, if he’s anything like his Swiss idol, the Spanish lefty should give Dimitrov and his single-handed backhand fits.
