VIDEO: Grigor Dimitrov’s booming overhead smash in Cincinnati
Grigor Dimitrov produced a couple of up and down moments during his last-16 clash at the Cincinnati Masters.
The fifth-seeded Bulgarian took on Novak Djokovic for a place in the quarter-final, but their match had to be suspended due to rain.
The pair shared the first two sets, but Djokovic was leading 2-1 in the decider when play was called off.
However, Dimitrov produced this stunning smash during their tussle.

But this also happened in the same match.
Sometimes the footwork is just too darn good for the racquet to comprehend.
