Zverev was certainly struggling with injury today, with made Karens job easier.

I've already called a Sock win in this match. Conditions are unfavorable to Thiem and Sock looked impressive in his first two matches.

 

[Sudacafan]

Paris Bercy. Apparently the only tournament that motivates Sock.
His hunting ground.

Sock is a classic contrarian. He prioritises events that most players don't give a **** about.

 

[mike danny]

Sock actually has a good net game. That's what I like about him.

Sock is defending 1000 ATP points,,

What do you do vs a Sock moonball to backhand?

"I dunno, I just run back 3m, and wreck a singlehander down the line from open stance"

~Dominic Thiem

And here I thought you liked him for the neckbeard.

 

[Meles]

Thiem breaks with the lob. 3-4

[Meles]

Thiem just needs to grind with Sock and eventually wheels will come off with regularity for out of shape Sock.

 

[Red Rick]

"Draw me like one of your French girls while I hit this backhand"

~Dominic Thiem

 

[Meles]

Thiem get hoisted by his own petard with the Sockian Super Kicker's on Ad side. Sock holds for 5-4 with leisurely down T changeup for Ace.

 

[mike danny]

This is where Sock's road ends unfortunately.

I find it embarrassing how on a supposedly fast indoor HC, a clay courter like Thiem can grind down Sock.

 

[Meles]

Sock gases himself getting to 0-30....

 

[mike danny]

It's hilarious watching Sock camp himself in the crowd to avoid hitting a BH.

 

[mike danny]

Sock has got it.

Thiem one set away from still no SF in a non-clay big event.

oops. Sock digs out the break with Thiem's last 2nd serve a bit too predictable allowing a good Sock backhand return.

Sock destroying the Thiem 2nd serve.

 

[Red Rick]

Thiem finally gets slice on Socks backhand.

Hilarity ensues

 

[CiscoPC600]

If Jack pulls off this win, he's gonna blow everyone's socks off.

 

[yokied]

Sock smuggling a set off Thiem lol. Khachetman better make the final now and restore some respectability to the draw. Either way, it's Fedovic's to lose from here.

 

[Pheasant]

Wow! Sock took the first set! Let's see if he can close the deal!

 

[Ironwood]

You gotta love that Sock forehand....he can really rip it!

 

[mike danny]

A sock who cares in undefeated and unbeatable.

 

[Meles]

You gotta love that Sock forehand....he can really rip it!

The weird camera angle makes it look slower and spinier than reality. 150-180 kph forehands with regularity

 

[3fees]

Sock close to break

Cheers

[Meles]

Smart hold by Thiem from 15-40; seems to be discovering that heavy balls to Sock forehand getting some UEs. 2 all

 

[Meles]

A tired looking Sock broken. Thiem 3-2

 

[RF-18]

Thiem got this. Just needs to play good and he has thus won. Breaks now.

 

[3fees]

Momentum changed to Thiem side

[Meles]

commie says 13 straight points for Thiem

 

[Meles]

174 kph forehand just has to land in court and Thiem reeling lol.

 

[PeteD]

174 kph forehand just has to land in court and Thiem reeling lol.

what's that in real speed

 

[stringertom]

what's that in real speed

Divide by 8, multiply by 5...110 mph or so.

 

[PeteD]

Divide by 8, multiply by 5...110 mph or so.

is fast, no?

 

[Meles]

Good game by both but T first serve gets Sock FH UE for the set 6-4. 1 set all

 

[3fees]

Cheers

[rainingaces]

I see that the bricklaying has started

Just finished, how did you know?

 

[PeteD]

Divide by 8, multiply by 5...110 mph or so.

I thought he was talking about a groundstroke.

 

[Meles]

what's that in real speed

108 mph. I like kph. First serve at 200 kph is a very solid serve. 150 kph forehands are big, big hits. Gaël Monfils, has the most number of forehands recorded over 180 km/h (112 mph)

 

[3fees]

sock v thiem 1-1 1-0,,overaggressive backhand by thiem let sock back in

Cheers
