2020 Roland Garros Mens QF: Dominic Thiem [3] vs Diego Schwartzman [12]

[aman92]

Couldn't see a thread for this.. Arguably the two best clay courters after the Big 2 and both with victories on clay over Nadal in the past 2 seasons...who will prevail?

 

[phl92]

Since Rome Schwartzman plays his best tennis. Thiem is def not playing on his best so far.
On the other Hand Thiem always dominated his little friend so far.
I say Thiem in 4

 

[RS]

Got a slight feeling Thiem will lose.

 

[Cortana]

Thiem in 4 feels right.

 

[weakera]

Thiem in 5

 

[Zebrev]

This has schwartzman all over it. Just the type of match he likes, where he is the firm underdog. Thiem is tired and schwartzman knows how drag out rallies and draw errors. I don't think domjnic js ready for a match like this in such conditionns.

Thiem is only a slight favorite by the oddsmakers. -220

 

[Yugram]

Fluke is toast.

 

[ForehandCross]

When is the match?

 

[Yugram]

When is the match?

After Svitolina-Podoroska. (Currently 2-6)

 

[Krish872007]

All QF matches taking place on Chatrier, which makes sense.

Quite windy out there as well.

 

[TripleATeam]

Brain: Thiem in 4. Gut: Thiem in 3.

 

[Yugram]

I HATE WTA.

I know right. If Schwartzman doesn’t send Fluke to Kitzbuhel in 3 or 4 (which he may do), then Nadal vs Sinner will be played into the deep night.

It will be.
It it were any other year this match would have started already and they would have put the Svitolina match on Lenglen. They're making full use of Chatrier and the roof as it stands

 

[Oval_Solid]

the biggest match of the tournament so far

 

[ForehandCross]

I am the biggest Podoroska supporter on planet right now. 2 pts away.

 

[ForehandCross]

MATCH POINT. VAMOS

 

[ForehandCross]

Okay that's an amazing point.

 

[Meles Fan.]

Did Thiem's match start?!
Save me with a stream plz

 

[romeo8880]

Two useless WTA matches involving some random unknown names scheduled before the start of the men's 1/4 final action. Way to screw up the schedule, alright...

lol you just not follow women’s tennis. Swiatek is VERY good

[Oval_Solid]

why are they using retired players to do post match interviews?
surely there must be some teaching pro position for them some where

 

[Meles Fan.]

Who is worse Collins or Zverev shouting after every point?

 

[The Green Mile]

Gaston hit 56 drop shots against Thiem in his last match, won an impressive 41 of them. How are the legs feeling?

 

[Born_to_slice]

Who is worse Collins or Zverev shouting after every point?

Shapovalov

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Looking forward to this. Should be a good one. Thiem though owns this rivalry especially on clay. I think thiem will be pushed and may drop a set. Diego will push him but thiem will over power him in 4 sets.

 

[Nostradamus]

That Red bull does wonders, Thiem will prevail.

Not saying Diego can't win, but I believe he has 1 career win over a top-5 opponent, so I don't know that he necessarily thrives as an underdog.

 

[romeo8880]

Are they closing the roof?

 

[Tennisbg]

Are they closing the roof?

It seems like they are just ... waiting. How dumb are the organizers?

 

[The Green Mile]

Are they closing the roof?

Commentators are saying they aren't going to

 

[GoatOfVirtualSneaker]

what is that? has a roof but does not use

 

[romeo8880]

It seems like they are just ... waiting. How dumb are the organizers?

Well I think big advantage Thiem if they close it

 

[uscwang]

They are removing the court cover now. Players coming out soon?

 

[GoatOfVirtualSneaker]

appearance of sun

 

[uscwang]

The sun is out. A moment of appreciation towards all the people that make this tournament possible, for the alternative is YouTube.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Diego in 4.

I expect and hope for the upset.

 

[Meles Fan.]

haha they look like twins

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Diego just put his cap on backwards, perhaps I have to switch who i'm rooting for?

 

[romeo8880]

Usually I’d pull the trigger and place a big bet on Thiem at such low odds.....but Diego has been playing some amazing tennis the last few weeks and Thiem has seemed to struggle. Still think Thiem takes it, but let’s see

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Why does this match keep getting pushed back 5 minutes?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Diego always looks so small next to his opponent. His height listed on the ATP site really is a lot lower than it reflects. Met him in person and he's my height. Let's just say it's not 170cm.....

 

[Oval_Solid]

schwartzman looks shorter than the chair umpire

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Start the damn match already!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Why does this match keep getting pushed back 5 minutes?

Rain delays and they didn't close the court for the women's match so rain kept falling. Appears the sun is coming up so the court is open but Paris weather, who knows what's to come.

 

[Meles Fan.]

Prayers to Thiem's legs today as he had to chase 50 dropshots last match

 

[Third Serve]

How dumb do the organizers have to be to just... wait for the weather to clear instead of using this gigantic roof they have that could easily fix all their problems?

 

[Meles Fan.]

Back when Thiem had normal nice looking hair

 

[romeo8880]

Rafa told them no closed roof, no?
