Grigor Dimitrov had one of the most accomplished seasons of his career and finished in the top 10 of the world rankings for the first time since 2014.
Though, the Bulgarian tennis star is much ahead in the rankings according to other indicators, which the ATP has been constantly publishing in recent weeks.
One of thes indicators is the so-called conversion. These are the points won in plays when the tennis player was on the attack. Dimitrov takes second place wiht 72.8 percent. In front of him is only the leader in the ranking Yannick Siner (It). The South Tyrolean, champion of the Australian Open, the US Open and the ATP Finals in Turin, achieved 73.6%.
The top 5 of the ranking according to this indicator are completed by Carlos Alcaraz (Spain) with 72% (he is the winner of the Roland Garros and Wimbledon titles), Denis Shapovalov (Cannes) – 71.9%, and Arthur Fiss (Fr) with 71.4%.
Grigor Dimitrov is among the top five and in the ranking for the best forehand.The former world #3 has odds of 8.50 and is 4th. In the lead here is Yannick Siner again with 8.87.
In second place with 8.67 is the record holder for titles from the “Grand Slam” Novak Djokovic (Sir). Carlos Alcaraz (8.54) and Alexander Zverev (8.40) are third and fifth, respectively.
According to ATP Tennis Insights data, Grigor Dimitrov is the player with the most consistent backhand on the professional circuit. He’s the only one in the top 5 in terms of backspin speed and the spin on the ball he puts into execution. The combination of speed and top spin creates the biggest problem for the opponent in controlling the ball and making good plays accordingly. Only one other tennis player from the top 10 of the rankings falls into either ranking. This is the Norwegian Casper Ruud – in the top 5 in terms of topspin. Others with backhands with the most serious spin also do it one-handed like Dimitrov – Stephanos Tsitsipas (Gur), French veteran Richard Gasquet, who is ending his tennis career, and Christopher O’Connell (Awl).
In addition to grigor, Sebastian Ofner (Av), Nicolas Jarry (Chile), Tomas Makhach (Czech Republic) and Marin Cilic (Czech Republic) are also in the top five in terms of return kick speed.
However, our tennis player did not manage to win in the fan favorite ranking after being nominated in this category. for the second year in a row, this award of the ATP season goes to Yannick Siner.
