Hot Shots: Dimitrov makes two highlight reels in Beijing

Since Grigor Dimitrov has resumed his winning ways after a mid-season slump, his shot-making mojo has made a comeback too, as evident by his magic hands at the China Open this week.

First, there was the pirouette drop shot against Steve Johnson in the first round that put the "feather" in "feathery." The 25-year-old would win the match, 7-5, 6-7 (9), 6-4.

Then, in his second-rounder against Lucas Pouille, Dimitrov’s hustle paid off, punctuated by a forehand screamer down the line:

He would beat Pouille in another tough three setter, 6-7 (3), 7-6 (0), 6-4. Next, Dimitrov will have his hands full with Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals.
