So disrespectful.
Imitates Fed but ending up as Gasquet 2.0
Dimitrov lacks Fed's talent obviously but to the naked eye he just don't have that elite level athleticism either.
Arrogance.

Did a forum search and didn’t see anything about Tennys Sandgren so I’ll just place this here.
Tennys Sandgren forced to deny far-right sympathies at Australian Open
I tend to pull for all Americans in tennis but nah. Can’t wait for Chung to wipe him out in 4 sets.

Tennys Sandgren forced to deny far-right sympathies at Australian Open
Tennys Sandgren, the last remaining American in the Australian Open men’s singles draw, has denied he is an alt-right sympathiser.
The 26-year-old reached the quarter-finals of the tournament after an upset victory over the No5 seed, Dominic Thiem, on Monday but questions over his political views have swirled over the weekend and he was challenged at a post-match press conference.

everything.. It's sickening and the collective evidence is too much to ignore

Earlier this month, Sandgren retweeted a video by Nicholas Fuentes, a Boston University student who received death threats after attending the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville last year. Sandgren also follows a number of controversial figures on Twitter, including Tommy Robinson the former leader of the far-right English Defence League, and Dan Roodt a South African once described by John Oliver as a purveyor of “some of the finest examples of vintage bigotry”. Sandgren also described “Pizzagate”, a conspiracy theory linking Hillary Clinton to a paedophile ring as “sickening and the collective evidence is too much to ignore”.
Sandgren was challenged over his views by a reporter after his victory over Thiem. “Look, who you follow on Twitter I feel doesn’t matter even a little bit,” he said. “What information you see doesn’t dictate what you think or believe. I think it’s crazy to think that. I think it’s crazy to assume that. To say, well, he’s following X person, so he believes all the things that this person believes, I think it’s ridiculous. I think that’s ridiculous.”
Sandgren has also debated racial injustice in America with fellow tennis player James Blake on Twitter. During the exchange he denied systemic racism exists in the US because the country elected a black president.

I just don't know how a country that practices systematic racism elected a black pres, twice

The world No97 also denied he supported far-right theories. “No. No, I don’t. I find some of the content interesting, but no I don’t. Not at all,” Sandgren said. “As a firm Christian, I don’t support things like that. I support Christ and following Him and that’s what I support.”
Sandgren next plays Hyeon Chung, who upset former champion Novak Djokovic in the fourth round.

this is a good match. Cilic is all wrong stylistically for Nadal but he chokes on what would have made it set point.2 sets to 1 Rafa. Wouldn't shock me to see this go 5
