"It's not just how fast you are there's a difference between quickness and speed." So said the commentator when Thiem ran down the drop shot at 2-2. No idea what that means...

 

[AndyM]

You knew when Anderson could barely get by shops that he was toast for the next round

 

[RF-18]

And another for the hold.

Lets goo 2 points away

 

[abmk]

5-2 Thiem.

[Im(moral) Winner]

Thiem slayed

 

[flyinghippos101]

42 winners to 13 unforced errors; that's scary good

 

[Red Rick]

Best HC performance ever by Thiem?

 

[Paulreedsmith]

Well congratulations to Thiem for his first QF at US Open.He was playing amazing today.He didnt face single BP if I am not mistaken.

No and he has not been broken all tournamnet I think.

 

[Otacon]

Great match by Thiem even though Anderson was a bit weary.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Congrats to my Austrian prince. What a wonderful unexpected run this has been after his disappointing results since reaching the FO final. Here's hoping he produces an even better performance on Tuesday.

 

[Otacon]

Best HC performance ever by Thiem?

His level didn't drop one bit throughout the match, so yeah, it must be his best performance on hard.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Wow. Didn’t expect this.

Thiem takin it to the top I tell ya.

De Minaur did the same for me last night.

 

[reaper]

Best HC performance ever by Thiem?

Possibly best on any surface. His variety and touch complemented his power better than I've seen before.

 

[NoleFam]

So Thiem got to the QF of a hardcourt Slam before Zverev? Dimitrov will never as he continues to bomb out in the 1st and 2nd rounds here, even though TTW experts here can't see the obvious. Thiem really should have gotten to the QF last year to play Federer if he hadn't choked against Del Potro. Good to see him right the ship after a tough couple of months.

 

[Nostradamus]

Thiem is insane good, Standing way way back by the fence worked on returns.............. Why couldn't Anderson find a way to get around that tactic ???????

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Thiem and Rafa could make for a dramatic and exciting match!

 

[Midaso240]

Only caught the very end of it,wow Dom must have played lights out tennis to do it in straights,Nadal next most likely...

 

[Backhanded Compliment]

This is going to be an important match for thiem who's constantly butting up against Rafa on clay I think on hard court he's got a chance to steak his claim... rafa gonna see him as a serious threat from now on if he wins?

 

[abmk]

Best HC performance ever by Thiem?

yeah. don't think he's played better on HC.

 

[True Fanerer]

Congrats to Thiem. Didn't get to see it, but sounds better than Anderson/Nadal to me. Thiem may have a fighting chance. It's going to be interesting since they've never met outside of clay.

ABTN.

De Minaur did the same for me last night.

De Minaur? You think he’s attractive?

Whatever floats your boat..

 

[RF-18]

Thiem is beast!!!

41 freaking winner and only 13 UFE.

His level of tennis is goat worthy

 

[Red Rick]

No and he has not been broken all tournamnet I think.

Het got broken a number of times vs Fritzl

To be fair, when your opponent keeps running to the net nothing really counts as UEs

 

[tenisdecente]

Did not expect that, well done Dominic

 

[tennisjedi]

First quarterfinal outside of RG.

Thiem is a beast - Djokovic is a beast and Nadal is a beast. You could replace the word Beast with work horse also
