Its been a while:
32/2018 R32 Canadian Masters Hard Stefanos Tsitsipas Dominic Thiem 6-3 7-6(6)
22/2018 R64 FO - RG Clay Dominic Thiem Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2 2-6 6-4 6-4
17/2018 QF Barcelona Clay Stefanos Tsitsipas Dominic Thiem 6-3 6-2
10/2018 R64 Indian Wells Masters Hard Dominic Thiem Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2 3-6 6-3
1/2018 QF Doha Hard Dominic Thiem Stefanos Tsitsipas

Match-up seems to favor Tsitsipas perhaps even on clay. If Tsits serves well he should take this.

Der Thieminator may have other ideas

Absolute cracker of a final for me cause I like both players. But here rooting for Dominator of course and having seen both play this week I think Thiem might have an edge.

Title no 15 incoming tomorrow.
 
Nice to see one backhanders back in top positions. My heart says Thiem but my brain says Tsitsipas :D
 
Tend to think this favors Tsitsi. It's a matchup he seems to play well in. I wonder if it's because Dominic plays so far back in the court, it gives Stefanos enough time (especially on the backhand) with his own long backswings that the pace from Domi doesn't phase him that much.
 
LOL commie calls it another forced error as Thiem blast himself to 15-30, big serve 30 all
 
I'm amazed by how well Dominic has been returning in Beijing, top stuff.

Unfortunately his ground game seems to be a bit off and Stef is making him play this extra shot more now.

I suspect a bit stiff after the Khachanov trial yesterday. Tsits still a bit passive to my eyes. Thiem holds from 0-30 for 2 all
 
First decent rally and Tsits down to 15-30. Thiem's heavy balls will not make his net game come easy today.
 
Oh, what a blow, the TV channel here switched from Beijing final to Hurkacz in Shanghai, I must look for some online stream.:(
 
Tsits crushed return down the middle where Thiem vacates for 6-3

29 to 26 points. Tsitsipas is a mental giant and tactician; Vampiro should have some great material to use on his pupil Thiem who leaves a lot to be desired in this area.:cry:
 
Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmaaaayyyyy. I can't remember what movie or show it is where a character rants away at a Timmy but I've lost count the number of times I've muttered this too myself.

The guy needs a Magnus, fast. The midgetry and muppetry...

As much as I wanna hate on Timmy, sometimes you just gotta say for the ocean and admit Sissy is playing some real good ball here.


It's close, thanks but that's not it. It was in some semi-comedic context too. It'll come to me eventually.
