2019 Indian Wells SF - [7] Dominic Thiem vs. [13] Milos Raonic

[NBP]

Please Thiem hold on, Fed needs to start stat-padding top 10 wins again

Think he's a Rafa fan as well, I remember him being present in the Fedal IW match in 2012.

He came for Nadal...

 

[Red Rick]

Net cord strike once more

 

[NastyWinners]

What is that, that’s some touch from Thiem.

 

[Sudacafan]

GOAT shot!

 

[NastyWinners]

Not that there’s anything wrong with it but is it me or does Milos look like Jar Jar Binks?

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

He came for Nadal...

I hope he booked a flight for Monte Carlo.

Question now is: exho or no exho after this match?

What... like... just.... what? Also everything about your statement is just... what. No he doesn't look like Jar Jar Binks and IF he did, there would plenty wrong with that lol

Thiem serving for the match

 

[TennisFan3]

Fed will destroy either of these guys tomorrow..

Hardly a surprise. It's a sorry state of affairs in tennis when an almost 38 year old is HEAVY favorite against everyone in the field, except the world #1 and the last 3 slams winner.

It's all about Djokovic and (to a lesser extent) Fed these days. And when retires, it will be all about Djokovic. Tennis will be losing popularity. There is a serious lack of talent in the field.

He looks like Chief Wiggum

 

[tennis_pro]

76 67 64 and not even 2.5 hours long? Frigging Raonic

 

[Terenigma]

Now or never for Raonic. No point playing passive, he needs to break. Hopefully he manages to get some play on the Thiem serve but i'm not that hopeful. I would say Federer would destroy Thiem in the final but he's still Old Federer so who knows?

[Edit] since when was the combination of Old and Federer banned? LOL

I mean, how did Raonic not at least make Thiem play a shot??

Come on.

Tennis is saved.

 

[tennis_pro]

Gsmmmmmm

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Thiem into the final and passes Anderson in the rankings

 

[Deleted member 77403]

And there you have it folks.

 

[underground]

Tomorrow's final will be battle for the #4 ranking.

 

[rh310]

Respect to both players for that 3rd set. But that inside-in FH from Thiem to set up the final match point was unfreakingbelievable.

 

[TheIntrovert]

I’m depressed

 

[Terenigma]

RIP Raonic. Well played Thiem i guess but i just wish Raonic could actually push past these final stages of tournaments. His game is not as limited as people think and he's shown before that he can play incredibly well against the best players but he just seems to drop mentally at the wrong moments and can't recover. Same as Australian open, decent run but can't get over the final few hurdles. At least he's back to playing well without injury.

 

[jklos]

Fed to come out and address the crowd apparently. Probably to state how he’s happy that he’s now beaten Rafa 6x in a row.

 

[PeteD]

Hey Canadians there's Felix

 

[Sudacafan]

I’m depressed

Ditto. Don’t know why.

Raffi's the one who should come out

What happened to him by the way?

His return is simply sub-par.

He came for Nadal...

Ok, I have a dirty mind. Confirmed!

 

[Meles]

Guys I'm sensing a pattern.

@Meles returned and now Thiem may make a 1000 final on HC.

The pattern is real

#Thiem's Time Has Come.

@Meles tell your boy to stop ruining the party

The RaoMug MkII party?

And yet it keeps getting betterer for the last five years yet we are in some kind of "weak" era according to the typical frauderista. 1-40 is probably the best ever on tour. Sure Big 3 aren't peaking at the same time these days very often, but otherwise the tour is incredibly healthy with strong. Players like Thiem show that it takes a long time to develop the serve, strength, and stamina to compete on the biggest stages. Thiem still rocketing upwards at age 25. Tennis looks to be in a very good state with added bonus that careers are now extended so we have much more overlap between top players from nearly a 20 year range right now Federe 37 vs FAA at age 18.

All aboard the #melesdiamondagetrain

 

[Enceladus]

This is all Djokovic's fault.

Would have lost to Milos anyway

 

[RS92]

Vamos Dominic

 

[NastyWinners]

YES!!

[rh310]

Meesa no thing so.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Alright, still very very strange statement

Well, GS finals or M1000 title (particularly a prestigious one like IW); I don't think it's so clear cut. I mean people will remember run to the W final for a long time, mainly because of the manner of his victory in the SF of course. But when you win a title, your name is forget on that trophy - so I can understand it either way.
