Grigor Dimitrov has found it hard being compared to Roger Federer but his best is yet to come, according to his recently appointed coach Andre Agassi.
“It's a hard thing for anybody to be compared with Federer,” Agassi said.
“There might have been a modelling of his game, but Fed plays with a lot of wrists, you know, Grigor hits through the strike zone a lot straighter.
“I believe that he has not seen his best tennis. He had some great results, but he's yet to feel what it's like to really build on a foundation that keeps taking him in the same direction and that has to do not just with tennis, but with how you approach every day.”
“He puts a lot of pressure on himself daily to be what he expects from himself,” he added.
“This is a double-edged sword. What he can do with a tennis ball is remarkable. Physically speaking, as impressive as Novak is, this man is also equally as impressive. Novak is incredibly dangerous even defensively, off both wings. This is a little bit different. But the movement, the versatility, I believe that his best is yet to come.”
