Dimitrov plays a solid baseline game, though he is also a proficient volleyer who doesn't avoid net play. His good touch was apparent in his first match against world #1 Rafael Nadal, when he twice used the drop shot and eventually won the point. He is equally comfortable hitting his one handed backhanded as a drive and with heavy topspin and that shot held up well against Nadal. In some rallies he was even able to push back Nadal on the forehand side by following a top spin shot with a low drive. His forehand has been described by some as a complete copy of Federer's. The service motion, also in the manner of Federer, is smooth and efficient. There is some weakness in his movement which, due to his tall and lanky frame, appears to be a bit labored and off pace.
