Thiem not giving anything away on serve at the moment. Looks to be in control of this set.
Cannot let up in the next set regardless - Cuevas is known to enjoy 3-set battles and is more than capable of handing out bakery products like we saw with Zverev yesterday
Feels exactly like the Zverev match. Let's see what Cuevas the Magician has in store to open the 2nd.I think that would be a terrible strategy. A confident Thiem smacks the balls. You don't want to get him rolling. Almost like Stanimal.
4-set too, in ~6hrs, as evidenced in his first encounter with Thiem at RG two years ago .

Raindogs on the Thiem?Thiem absolutely cruising, not even grunting during first serves as is his norm.
Poast bump for @Krish872007 .Is there something you guys have been keeping secret? Are you having a Barry Manilow moment???
Pablo cruises in three for the fifth time this week.![]()
No, just 4 saved. Why you so dizzy lately???Cuevas holds after saving 6 BPs

Raindogs on the Thiem?
@Fastpace Ace lurking of late.
Time for @Poisoned Slice to decide on clay, Thiemuster or Clayray.![]()
Exquisite set from Thiemeles. Let's see if Pablo can make an impression on the Austrian's serve before it's too late.
@Meles 's Thiem-Ade???I'm high
Only for the Magician does this happen. Thiem converting an amazing 60% of BPs on clay before this match.Thiem looks like he has the Federer syndrome of wasting 100 BPs.
Thiemeles. LOL. Is this the first time this "technical term" appears or what?
Thiem with a massive miss.![]()
I claim that as my creation
Who cares about this game. Nadal will just sweep the rest of the clay season. There is no competition.
Cuevas the Magician not done with his final act.If you think this is bad, wait until tomorrow against Nadal. If Thiem wins 5 games, it will be a moral victory.
Rafaral won't be around for ever ya know. "Today's runner up is tomorrow's champion" as they say![]()
