Forgot to say this yday, old Birdman took out Thiem, quite straight-forwardly if we're honest, despite it being 5 sets. I reckon Thiem is just a more entertaining version of Dimitrov, the chances of him getting to a slam final are zero, a bit like Nishi really. Have long said it's cos he puts so much effort into every shot and so he can't last that long. Find it a shame, as I like watching him play. Anyone agree/disagree with this?

Nishi has already been to a slam final.

Thiem is getting to a French Open final at some point. Grass isn't really his surface.

Dimitrov has far more efficient strokes and a greater variety and feel. Thiem is much more of a fighter though. Thiem has a great chance to win AO or FO at some point over the next decade. Wimbledon is not suited to his huge swings though. Dimitrov is a huge waste of talent. A more athletic version of Federer, yet has achieved nothing.

What makes you think Dimitrov is more athletic than Federer?
