don't be dissapointed

I was also quite disappointed of his lost to Gasquet, but then a sow his post match interview and realized how different everything looks from his point of view. Grisho's perception is now like in a school - just observing everything and learning, getting experience. He is not frustrated at all. He does realize it will be a long process of transition and even expect this to take a year or two... we should be patient and just follow him in his path. I am sure sooner or later this will turn around


On the positive note now even the haters gave up and don’t bash him so much

yeah thats true. But I'd really like to see him in 2nd or 3rd rounds of atp events...

As you say that will happen sooner or later...

Now the haters got bored. I like that a lot...

I was not comfortable with the Baby Fed/Expectation thing people set on him since a few years ago. I'm a new fan (<1 year) and would like to watch a talented young man starting his career with less pressure. With expectation, some just said "Oh, Dimitrov's overrated or his thinginess was not there." Hmm, he was defeated by a much higher ranking player who played true to his form/ranking.

Having said that, I did believe he could have passed R1 yesterday if he had held his nerves ... His service % said otherwise.

Well, on to the next tournament.
