Sock definitely looking to shorten points and FH miss gets it to 2 all.

 

[Meles]

Tired Sock 2nd for fault, 15-40....

 

[Meles]

Yikes another tired Sock DF for another BP after near hold....

 

[heninfan99]

the Sockinator gets back to deuce

 

[Meles]

Thiem slams first return cross court for another BP.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

SOCK NOOOOO

 

[heninfan99]

woah shocking return from the Austrian Prince

 

[Meles]

Thiem deepish back first return induces Sock UE running around on forehand sending it into the net. Thiem 3-2. I'm disowning him if he blows this match now. Sock is on fumes.

 

[heninfan99]

sock should switch to a one hander

Worn out socks are the worst.

 

[Meles]

15-40; its 2017 Thiem serving back again

 

[PeteD]

Thiem can't lose now. Heh.

 

[Meles]

Worn out socks are the worst.

Luckily its just undermined his movement enough for Thiem to hold for 5-3

 

[heninfan99]

Sock looks utterly disgusted with himself

 

[PeteD]

So what is the consensus on why Sock went so baggy in singles?

 

[3fees]

Sock with dbl breaker,,no dice---thiem sees it thru

Thiem pulls up his socks and marches into the semis.

Hooray!!!! Congrats to Dominic Thiem! On to the SF!

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Sad day for tennis with Jack losing

 

[heninfan99]

The Austrian Prince is too talented and too quick around the court and never tires
Congrats to Thiem!

Respect to Sock's effort.

Thiem beats the defending champion to reach his first SF in a non-clay big event.

Maybe now that he can go deep off clay, he won't have to play all those meaningless 250's and 500's anymore.

 

[Meles]

Exhausted Sock ready for productive off-season

Featured matches coming up

Djokovic v Cilic

Federer v Nishikori

[CiscoPC600]

Dang. I guess at the end of the day, three sets was too much for Jack. He couldn't sock it to em.

 

[PeteD]

Thiem is still with Mladenovic so

How many points is Sock losing?

 

[RF-18]

@mike danny dont doubt Thieminator

 

[CiscoPC600]

Never mind; I just answered my own question. He's down to 105 in the world, ouch: https://live-tennis.eu/en/atp-live-ranking

 

[PeteD]

How many points is Sock losing?

1,220. Ouch.

 

[George Turner]

How many points is Sock losing?

820 from paris, 400 from world tour finals.

He should still have enough to get automatic entry into slams next year, astounding considering he's won only 9 matches this year.

If I were him Id probably still play Rio and another Golden Swing 250 cause it's either that or 2 indoor HC tournies. Then over to IW

He has an outside shot at top 4 seeds in the clay season assuming Federer does not play

Looking at the players above him, Cilic will likely not defend his AO points. Del Possum will likely not defend his sunshine double points. Kandyman and Sascha will be harder to catch.

Thiem has a fair shot at the top 4 seed if he gets some results during the hard court swing, which he didn't this year.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

I would seriously lol if Thiem's first masters series or any big title as a result is on indoor hard court

 

[RF-18]

Federer given up already?

Roger #Federer : "I'm not here to win Paris. My objective is London. If I can do well here in Paris and beat Djokovic, all the better. But I'm not there yet. We'll see."

He's trolling Nishikori with the excuse after he prepared for a loss to Djokovic

No-one expected him to defend his title but at least he went down fighting and took Thiem the distance. He acquitted himself honourably.

He's # 15, his problem is, 4 guys ahead of him - Tsitsi, Edmund, Fog, and Coric - are also rising, all at new career highs.

And his compatriot Medvedev just behind him. Of that group of 5 20-23 yr olds (Tsits, Edmund, Coric, Khach, Med) I'm betting at least 3 enter the top 10 in 2019.
