Anybody knows what the hell happened to Thiem? How could he get owned by 2019 Dimitrov?

Suspect he's a bit fried after playing so many 3 set matches in the last couple of weeks and Dimi has been showing a bit of form recently. He'll have all of next week to recover his form in time for London.

Btw, @StrongRule who do you prefer as QF opponent: Tsonga or Struff? Can’t decide. Struff’s game can be more powerful, but Tsonga has rhe crowd boost.

On this court anybody is dangerous for Nadal. If a player has a decent serve and powerful shots then he has everything to trouble Nadal here. So I can't even look past Wawrinka.

Brainless bashers like Shapovalov doing well kind of sums up these courts.

I watched the match and agree with everything Ghost said. Djokovic was looking disinterested and disengaged the entire Edmund match. I still favor him against Tsitsipas but he'd going to have to get interested in this event if he's going to hang on to make the final or win it.

Who other than Tsitsipas is going to beat him? Nadal/Wawrinka or who??? Zverev (may lose this round)? Dimitrov lol? I think Novak becomes a huuuge favorite if Stefanos can't take him out.

Then again, I'm assuming his sickness is just a bug. We'll see.

I never said he wasn't the prohibitive favorite, I said he was disinterested and disengaged. A Djokovic at 75% of his normal level beats anyone else in the field and he always ups his game against Nadal off clay. If Nadal and Djoker reach the final, Nole's the heavy favorite.

Misunderstanding then. My point being I could see Novak beating Dimitrov and a non-Nadal/Wawrinka finals opponent on his lowest levels. Tsitsipas may very well end up being his toughest opponent of the tournament.

That was 2015 mentalmidgetal though. Wawrinka beat him 7-6(7) 6-2 in Rome and 7-6(7) 7-6(8) in Paris. if I recall correctly, Nadal had SPs in all three TBs. Outside of those two matches and the injury-ridden AO final, Nadal lost exactly 0 sets in 18 victories.

Nadal improved a bit at the end of 2015 though. But yeah, that was an awful match. Some EPIC level of choking from both players.

Stephanos also has NOTHING on Novak. Just one victory doesn't change anything.
The only players who could challenge Novak on this surface are Medvedev and Federer. Both are not in the tournament.
Unless he is sick/injured - I don't see anyone coming CLOSE to beating Novak here.

Good point. Novak was garbage in both matches, though, and without much motivation.
I expect him to play much better tomorrow.
If TsiTsiPas beats Novak again tomorrow, then yeah - there is starting to be a bit of a matchup issue.
