ok, after i watched it.

well quite shocked he starts it complaining they "compared" him to roger. gurl, your complete game is trying to imitate roger, what would you expect? how can you complain about it?

personally i dont think it was an amazing interview, but thanks for sharing anyway

In my own life i wasted my youth partying and dating many beautiful women and didnt fulfil my career potential. However not being a professional sportsperson i was able to make up for lost time and fulfil my career potential to a degree, which was fuelled by regret for a decade of hedonism. As a pro athlete however you dont get that luxury to make up for lost time. Given the talent he has, and he knows he had, the regret he must have now about not being more professional in his prime must be burning him up as he could have won 10 slams plus had he dedicated and sacrificed like the Big 3 did.
Having met him i can confirm he is the nicest guy you could ever wish to meet.

Interesting take. Is this legit? He was that talented?

^^ agree with the sentiment that we white collar workers have the luxury of time where athletes do not but I am unsure whether he had the potential to win 10 slams.

In saying that I can see I am at a disadvantage entering then work force I my early thirties vs someone who has been in the game since they were in their mid twenties

That's why I gotta like Grigor. The guy is supermodel-handsome, and 99.999% of guys blessed with looks like that are insufferably full of themselves. But Grigor has always come off as a totally down-to-earth, regular guy. Plus he's an incredible athlete, and watching his movement on court is a sight to behold. Sure, he's underachieved, but who am I (or any of us) to crucify him for that?

so is he gay or not?

the older we get, the more mature and thoughtful we become. Dimitrov might have been an arrogant, flamboyant, cocky person when younger, but now he has matured into a respectful decent man. I used to dislike him, but now I often find myself rootinf for him esp. when he's playinga against a more cocky one.

Daddy Fed has got wife, kids, and slams. 🙂

Baby Fed has got no wife, no kids, and no slams. 😌

They compare him with Milos and Kei; they have also gotten wives. 😢

Let's see. Who else? Sharalova - She has moved on, and had meth and also had a baby. 😭

They projected Federer on him and got mad when he wasnt Federer. People on here love to project stuff on players and then get mad at them when they dont live up to that fantasy.
