The forehand of the best Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov is a real cannon, writes ATP. ATP Infosys Beyond The Numbers analysis of average stroke speed and spin, based on the performance of top 10 players over the past three seasons, shows that no one has a more explosive forehand than the 33-year-old Bulgarian.
