Video: Dolgopolov the Spin Doctor



We knew when Alexandr Dolgopolov drew Grigor Dimitrov in the first round of this week’s Rogers Cup in Montreal, some explosive shotmaking would be on display. And… we were right (though maybe "surgical" or "delicate" might be a better adjective than "explosive."

Dimitrov won the match, 6-4, 7-5, to set up a second-round encounter with Jack Sock, but Dolgopolov took hot shot honors with the bit of wizardry you’re seeing in the above video.
