Grigor Dimitrov was one of the most talented players on the tour. Especially, his one-handed backhand is a thing of beauty. Because of that, many people even compared him with Roger Federer and thought he would become the next Federer. Unfortunately, his career did not take off as expected due to injuries and inconsistency.
Last year, at the Indian Wells, Dimitrov reached the semi-final at the Indian Wells where he lost to Cameron Norrie. Before that, in the quarter-final, the Belarusian player defeated Hubert Hurkacz in an incredible match. Both the players played some incredible shots in that match.

Particularly one shot was truly remarkable, even Venus Williams reacted to it on Instagram. The 7-time Grand Slam winner could not believe the shot Dimitrov played. The match was one set all and in the third set, when the score was 30-40 in favor of Hurkacz, Dimitrov played an incredible volley near the net while doing the splits. Eventually, Dimitrov won the match by 3-6,6-4,7-6.
Tennis TV recently shared the video of that shot, as Indian Wells is around the corner. Currently, all the players are preparing well for the Sunshine Double.
