9 Months After Vowing to ‘Rattle’ Carlos Alcaraz, Grigor Dimitrov Justifies His Bold Take With Consecutive Scalps
Follow Us
In the previous season, when he failed to overcome Carlos Alcaraz on various occasions, Grigor Dimitrov revealed that he had learned a lot about the Spaniard’s game. As he also saw some cracks in his game, the Bulgarian tennis star asserted that he could potentially ‘rattle’ Alcaraz more on the court. A few months after issuing those bold assertions, Dimitrov has now proved himself with his back-to-back wins over the 2-time singles Grand Slam champion.
In a previous interview with inews, the former number 3 player opened up about how he saw ‘cracks’ in the game as he played Alcaraz at the 2023 Queen’s Club Championships and Mutua Madrid Open. He said, “I see some cracks in the game that potentially you can work into, opportunities that you can explore.” Dimitrov also stated, “I’m not saying I’m gonna beat him the next match I play. However, I feel like there’s things that I’ve learned and could potentially rattle him more and you never know.”
Even though he tasted defeats at the hands of Alcaraz in both tournaments, the Bulgarian player revealed that he loves to keep on playing against the Spaniard as he has learned a lot about his own game. He said, “So that’s why I think this and I would love to keep on playing honestly against him. And also I learned a lot about my game.” This season, Dimitrov has now proven himself, as he now has two brilliant victories in his bag against Alcaraz.
