The future 5 at the Australian Open

2017 Australian Open - Day 14
2017 Australian Open Winner - Roger Federer

#1 Grigor Dimitrov

2016 Australian Open - Day 5
Dimitrov is the most successful Bulgarian male tennis player till date

The 26-year-old ended 2017 by winning the ATP Finals defeating David Goffin in a grueling finish. After a splendid last season, he is the best bet to topple the Big Four out of contention at the Australian Open. Currently ranked a career-high world No. 3, Dimitrov is impressive and dominant in all parts of the court.

He plays a very unconventional form of tennis as he generates force into his shots with his arms instead of his body. He has been nicknamed 'Baby Fed' due to the similarities in style of playing with Roger Federer. He lost in the semi-finals of Brisbane International (where he started as a defending champion) to the eventual winner Nick Kyrgios.

He would want to win his first slam at Melbourne and better his semi-final finish at the Australian Open last year.
