Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov has spoken about how frequent comparisons with the legendary Swiss Roger Federer influenced him.

Recall that Dimitrov even received the nickname Baby Federer because his serve and backhand technique resembled Federer’s signature style.

“To be honest, I only found it enjoyable at the very beginning, and then I started… Not that I hated it, but I didn’t like it because those comparisons were pointless.

We are so different! Yes, we have some similarities, but in fact, we are not the same. The only thing I would like for aspiring athletes, children, is that they are not compared to anyone,” Dimitrov said according to the New York Times.
