In my case both matches were shown on different channels, but the other one was a dog, so I didn't have to pay attention to it. Thiem still has a tendency to give time to his opponent by staying too far back and hitting harmless mid court rally balls. Even someone like Schwartzman can inflict a lot of damage if he's given all of that extra time. Muster could be seen coaching Thiem to move closer, but I don't think the ump caught it. For a clay specialist, Thiem has an unconventionally bad return game. He'll pointlessly overhit returns instead of just getting the ball in play.
Could not agree more, and I think Schwartzman has the return game to beat anyone on the planet on a good day, but he just lacks weapons in his service game. Imagine someone with his skills 6 inches taller. It would be amazing.

Nadal and Djokovic have as good, if not better return games, plus that 6 inches. No need to imagine anything when we can watch them play this week.
