CAMELOT FANTASIES

Dimitrov couldn't overcome the mental pressure yesterday. The home crowd, Baby Fed hype and Federer himself was just too much for him. At least Pospisil has experience playing Federer before in Montreal just a couple of months ago and that's very important; also, Pospisil comes without the pressure or any kind of nonsense hype.

But on the flip side, Dimitrov will now be powerful against Federer on the big stage now that this big hype and long due crap are behind him and will snatch the win, where it will matter more - for Dimitrov anyway. Though, at this stage of Federer's career it will be hardly a big deal. As I see it, this will be no bigger a deal than, say, Sampras vs Federer - the only match at Wimbledon these two ever played, where Sampras was only a shadow of his true self, but from Dimitrov's perspective, I suppose it will be a great boost of confidence - false or not.

good post emma. I think grigor has a bright future.

he has the size and he has all the shots. all that is needed is better fitness and consistency.


it will come if he is driven enough.


he is certainly getting the experience playing all the current legends of the sport.
