So boring. Can't wait for Nadal to retire so I can start enjoying this tournament again. The organisers entering the 21st century and getting a roof for the main stadium would also help immeasurably.
No one has won a grand slam since stand outside the big three since US open 2016
Of course, and Thiem's boorish, moronic ass is still paying his membership fees as part of the ATP's hyped Can't Win A Major Legion (Thiem, Nishikori, Kyrgios, Dimitrov, Simon, Pospisil, Tomic, Querry, et al), which continues to prove that this is the most talentless generation 1/2 in tennis history. As of this French Open, with on and off court failures, Thiem is the face of that loser generation.That is embarrassing for the rest of the field.
That doesn’t mean he was “fresh”. He was far from it, especially mentallyIt’s not a stretch. He was playing some amazing points running them down.
Nadal is winning neitherA wimbledon win or an AUS win, you only get to choose one.
And why?
Again the guy peppers his one handed backhand like he peppers it against Federer. It’s almost the same result.That doesn’t mean he was “fresh”. He was far from it, especially mentally
There is something called mental freshness too. The guy played Djoko in a 5 setter over 2 days after his qf. Without a day off for recuperation. Had it been Nadal bearing the brunt of screwed scheduling instead of Thiem, we'd never see the final happen today.It wasn’t a factor today. Thiem still looked fresh even in the 4th set. Did you even see the match?
Very tough call. I feel like Australia would mean more but having a third Wimbledon to match the USO total and get another Channel slam is very, very appealing. I think it's Australia but I can be convinced to the other side.A wimbledon win or an AUS win, you only get to choose one.
And why?
I feel bad for Thiem because there's no doubt he's the closest non-slammed player to winning a slam in terms of ability, but he has an almost impossible mountain to climb. That has to be gut-wrenching. He won Indian Wells, which I doubt anyone would have predicted to be his first M1000. Why not the USO? As long as it isn't against Rafa or perhaps JMDP, I'm rooting hard for Thiem.Take the USO, Dominic!!!
That has nothing to do with how fresh Thiem is. He played 4 days in a row ffs.Again the guy peppers his one handed backhand like he peppers it against Federer. It’s almost the same result.
Dude it’s not new. He doesn’t care about those smaller tournaments like he used to. If anything it gave him more rest.Nadal in monte Carlo = meh, Madrid = meh, Barcelona = meh, then suddenly it picks up at Rome where he turns into iron land and right at the good time he becomes Thanos at RG. No one that thinks this smells a bit?
Yes I am hahaWe'll see I guess.Congrats to your favourite player. You must be happy.
Doesn’t change the result. Simple as that.That has nothing to do with how fresh Thiem is. He played 4 days in a row ffs.
I don’t care who you are, you’re not gonna be fresh after that, and it was obvious as the match went on.
Every cloud.At least he avoided a probable defeat if not beat down at the hands of Nadal...
Agreed.LOL. I could be a bionic man who lives for 500 years, and I don't think we'll see 12 (and counting) RG titles won ever again. I know we say never say never, but I just can't fathom it. It's total insanity.
No. Nadal would have won. Nadal hasn’t exactly played long matches. He had an easy stretch for the most part.There is something called mental freshness too. The guy played Djoko in a 5 setter over 2 days after his qf. Without a day off for recuperation. Had it been Nadal bearing the brunt instead of schedule, we'd never see the final happen today.
It quite possibly would have. Had schedule gone to plan and both players received equal rest, Thiem very well could’ve taken the first set and the match later on.Doesn’t change the result. Simple as that.
We shall see what happens at wimbledon. Both guys defending a lot of points.Every cloud.At least now Djokovic still has the mental advantage when they next face each other in a major, which is why I wasn't too disappointed over what happened yesterday.
You need to stop smoking the pipe. Lol. Thiem’s game just doesn’t bother nadal on this stuff when it matters.It quite possibly would have. Had schedule gone to plan and both players received equal rest, Thiem very well could’ve taken the first set and the match later on.
I wish he could sue RG organisers over his f*ckued up schedule and lost prize moneyThat has nothing to do with how fresh Thiem is. He played 4 days in a row ffs.
I don’t care who you are, you’re not gonna be fresh after that, and it was obvious as the match went on.
Nope. He used to win plenty of the others too, but now he’s getting older he needs to peak for RG.Nadal in monte Carlo = meh, Madrid = meh, Barcelona = meh, then suddenly it picks up at Rome where he turns into iron man and right at the good time he becomes Thanos at RG. No one that thinks this smells a bit?
Only when Nadal retires or gets injured!Thiem will win RG in 2020. Honestly, I really feel he got too much of an ask to take out Djokovic and Nadal back to back without rest.
He's going to be stronger, faster and better next year. He's too good to not win this thing.
Worst case scenario, Nadal learns to play indoors after winning indoor clay, then wins the WTF --> TTW implodesSo boring. Can't wait for Nadal to retire so I can start enjoying this tournament again. The organisers entering the 21st century and getting a roof for the main stadium would also help immeasurably.
Oh I'm sure get ready for the many has been threads about weak eras and ballerina tennisThat’s true they’ve all blown opportunities.
I think RAFA and Djoker both have a chance to pass him.
Time for fed to go god mode at Wimbledon.
Its pro sportsNadal in monte Carlo = meh, Madrid = meh, Barcelona = meh, then suddenly it picks up at Rome where he turns into iron man and right at the good time he becomes Thanos at RG. No one that thinks this smells a bit?
I know. He may still have won maybe. But it wouldn't have reeked of bias. He didn't need favors from scheduling because he already had the easiest draw possible (Thiem as usual in Djoko's half). If he had Thiem in his half and then had to face Djoko I don't think you could have bet on the same result.No. Nadal would have won. Nadal hasn’t exactly played long matches. He had an easy stretch for the most part.
It certainly bothered him for the better part of 2 sets.You need to stop smoking the pipe. Lol. Thiem’s game just doesn’t bother nadal on this stuff when it matters.
Ouch I would be lying if I said I didn't feel this tweet on a certain level but not because of this tournament. I domt think I will ever enjoy clay. Lights are coming next year I think and roof in 2021So boring. Can't wait for Nadal to retire so I can start enjoying this tournament again. The organisers entering the 21st century and getting a roof for the main stadium would also help immeasurably.
Australian, for 2 reasons: he ought to have won his 2nd in AO'17, and then he would be the first of the big 3 to get the double Grand Slam!A wimbledon win or an AUS win, you only get to choose one.
And why?
Nadal will play WORSE next year as he declines and gets slower. You cannot escape father time. He will be 34 with a lot of mileage.Only when Nadal retires or gets injured!
well if your guy didn't cry so much during the semi and demand a delay, Thiem would have probably taken it to 5!It certainly bothered him for the better part of 2 sets.
Now imagine what Thiem could’ve done if he was allowed proper rest. He still would’ve been the underdog, but it probably would’ve gone to 5
I’m not a Djokovic fanwell if your guy didn't cry so much during the semi and demand a delay, Thiem would have probably taken it to 5!
