Djokovic about Dimitrov
Novak and Grigor are good friends. Talking about Grigor’s performance, Nole commented:
“Since the US Open he’s playing at a different level, a high level. He always had the game. It’s just sometimes a matter of things coming together, really, mentally and at the right time.
The past three months have been quite good for him results-wise. Beating Roger at the US Open was a huge confidence booster for him, I’m sure. And he’s been playing some terrific tennis this week. I don’t play too bad myself, so it’s going to be for sure a good one.”
