Talented player saddled early on with the nickname "Baby Fed" because his father patterned his strokes after Roger. But as Fed said, "I can see it but the shot selection is different." Grigor showed great movement and talent but was saddled early by nerves, leading then failing to close out against the likes of Novak Djokovic. Yet Grigor overcame that and injuries to become one of the few players that has beaten all of the Big 3 - Fed at the US Open 2019, Rafa in Beijing, and Djokovic at the Madrid Open. Grigor was also dominating Jannik Sinner in a match at the US Open, up two sets to love, when he tore a pectoral muscle, that's how hard he was serving. Grigor has 9 titles, including winning the ATP Tour finals and a Masters 1000 in Cincinatti. As for his technique, Andrey Rublev said, "Grigor's shots are so beautiful."
