Professional qualities
Dzumhur is an experienced representative of the tour. The Bosnian feels confident on the baseline, has high speed and often successfully copes with difficult balls thanks to the right choice of tactics. His serve has improved, and the game at the net, including volleys, remains a strong point. However, Damir main problem is the instability of his mental state: in moments of emotional outbursts, he can lose concentration, which leads to the loss of several games in a row.
