Dominator angles forehand to go up two breaks in the 2nd.

Since 5-5 in the first set he have taken 7 out of the next 9 games.Right now he is just dominating Anderson.
I'm loving him with the previously maligned ultra deep return positioning. Thiem is doing great against the Anderson first serve winning a whopping 30% of those return points. Previously servebots were death for Thiem.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Anderson takes his first first serve return point.

Anderson-Thiem 5:7, 2:6
Thiem's be able to return Anderson's service and is a better player in rallies.

If this Thiem shows up vs Nadal......
I'm not so sure this Thiem will dominate on first serve points won vs Nadal. If Thiem can hold serve well against Nadal then he definitely can break him enough to win the match.

On paper Thiem is much worse than Nadal on hard courts, but I can't keep thinking about Thiem's dismantling of Nadal twice in the last two years on faster clay.:D

Thiem before his ankle break at IW was doing really well on serve on hard courts. Efficient serving with his increasing stamina levels makes him a threat at any slam with the right draw. This year's US Open draw was a good one for Thiem as only this one servebot and he's kept close with KA in the past at least.:oops:

Pretty amazing that a player with Anderson's reach and abilities on first return has been completely shut down. Thiem 24/24 on first serve points.:cool:
Anderson so afraid of Thiem's good looks, he ran away.......... anyway, which shorts is Thiem wearing ?? I like to buy it from TW. It looks Awsome,,,,,,,,no wonder he is winning

The solution for Anderson he knows: big, big serving and even more aggression. Perhaps he's not been hitting the first quite as hard with Thiem's deep return position.:confused:

How do you feel about Thiem and Coric’s chances? We need one of these kids to win. No slam winners under 30 if they don’t. :confused:

Well there’s also Goffin and MILOS but they don’t interest you..:D
I think they both have the required stamina with Zedrot's recent demise they were the only ones coming into the event with a ghost of a chance of winning.

I've really not watched Coric closely enough this event to see if he's peaking. He's never played Delpo before, so one step at a time. If Borna gets by Delpo he's got attractive records against both Thiem and Nadal.:eek:

if thiem gets his first major here at the usopen ill be dumbfounded and pretty happy

im guessing it will be delpo or novak though... in fact i want delpo to take this. I met his family the time he won it last... they were staying at my hotel... having that us open car come round to pick them up was a tip off and we were all just so excited he was gonna be in the final... then he did the inconcievable

i like underdogs

I've learned to temper my expectations. Thiem needs to finish off Anderson in three and then he's got a prayer with Nadal.

Is their a TTW discount at your place?:D
