[Im(moral) Winner]

 

[Steve0904]

Who wins now?

Nadal, or is that too obvious?

 

[Meles Fan.]

What was that now?

He needs to be up by 2 breaks to end it but most probably wont

 

[Third Serve]

How many?

177-169 now

 

[weakera]

Why not?

No good reason. Some combination of feminism and stupidity. And it would be even easier to move a match in these conditions this year because of how few people are in attendance. But they won't do it, more likely Nadal-Sinner pushed to tomorrow (but that won't happen either).

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nadal, or is that too obvious?

 

[Yugram]

This will be the second time in Nadal's career that he won't lose a set en route to the final

No. 2008, 2010, 2012, 2017.

And maybe 2007.

 

[StrongRule]

This will be the second time in Nadal's career that he won't lose a set en route to the final

What? Nadal did that a lot more than once.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Sad to see people not giving any credit to the two players, preferring repeating over and over again how bad Nadal will beat them

 

[StrongRule]

No. 2008, 2010, 2012, 2017.

2007 too.

[I Am Finnish]

So siësta for me today im awake since 5.40 am

 

[Third Serve]

Have we reached 5 hours yet?

I don’t think rafa will be happy with this but we shall see.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

No. 2008, 2010, 2012, 2017.

Yikes. What was 2017 unique for? Something like most dominant run right?

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Oh hell... please tell me this is a joke. There's some stupid women's match after this? I thought Rafa-Sinner was up next!? Oh God, no!!!

Not stupid, Swiatek is an upcoming talent just like Sinner (same age). And since there are no djokodal on the women's side, she might actually win it all. So her journey is interesting.

 

[Amritia]

As a Nadal fan I would prefer Thiem to win this set. I think he would be more tired for the semi.

 

[I Am Finnish]

What has Gioco to do with it

 

[Third Serve]

Yikes. What was 2017 unique for? Something like most dominant run right?

Not a single set went longer than 6-4

 

[D.Nalby12]

No matter how much hard Thiem hits, his shots will be never heavy as Wawrinka. Even Djokovic backhand can't abuse Wawrinka BH in slow courts. Here Shortman is dominating BH - BH duels.

 

[TheNachoMan]

They are playing really hard just to lose 6-4 6-1 6-1 to Rafa

 

[Steve0904]

I have to say, I'm impressed beyond words at their ability to just keep the ball in play on most of these points. I keep expecting errors, especially out of Thiem going as big as he does, but he's not giving anything away.

 

[Yugram]

Yikes. What was 2017 unique for? Something like most dominant run right?

Yep. Least games dropped I think.

 

[I Am Finnish]

“A Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” That was a good comment!

Who will prevail Thiem or Schwartzman

 

[tudwell]

Schwartzman up an early hold, but can he maintain his lead?

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Not a single set went longer than 6-4

Ya this will happen then

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

What has Gioco to do with it

He says keep playing lads

 

[I Am Finnish]

As a Nadal fan I would prefer Thiem to win this set. I think he would be more tired for the semi.

He has 2 days off he should be fine imo

 

[Third Serve]

You could probably finish a short novel in the time this match has gone on.

 

[Vanilla Slice]

Did i speak too soon. Thiem looks tired. Both men cannot serve for s--t. If Thiem could hold serve he would win easily

 

[WildRevolver]

You should. Thiem has nothing left and is choking even harder than Diego. Either will be demolished, it doesn't really matter who Rafa will play.

I think with two days rest, Diego might be a feisty matchup still. But you're probably right.

 

[Born_to_slice]

Diego drop shots are amazing! Wow!

Only if he would use them more than once in a blue moon.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

back to stupid droppers again???

 

[I Am Finnish]

Ahhhh chances of Domi winning this is zero now.

60/40

 

[Lleytonstation]

Imagine if we have a 5th... it would be comical.

Not so comical after all...

 

[3fees]

This match is up for grabs a break of serve would do it in this 5th set.

Cheers

[D.Nalby12]

It's unbelievable how Thiem founds energy to come with big winners almost on every critical point.

 

[D-Lite]

I've watched this like 10 times and I still don't get the what he's doing with his hand after the kiss

 

[MeatTornado]

I have to say, I'm impressed beyond words at their ability to just keep the ball in play on most of these points. I keep expecting errors, especially out of Thiem going as big as he does, but he's not giving anything away.

I prefer to call them choking mugs from my computer for not hitting a winner each point.

 

[mikeeeee]

back to stupid droppers again???

You must have a lot of 5 hour, 5 set experience

 

[Russeljones]

I have to say, I'm impressed beyond words at their ability to just keep the ball in play on most of these points. I keep expecting errors, especially out of Thiem going as big as he does, but he's not giving anything away.

The conditions are @#$%^&

 

[TheNachoMan]

Not so comical after all...

Comical in the same way dying a day before retirement is..

 

[Slowtwitcher]

Nadal match now scheduled to start at 10PM local

 

[Third Serve]

I prefer to call them choking mugs from my computer for not hitting a winner each point.

I see you are a man of culture as well.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Courier just said the Rafa-Sinner match will go on as scheduled, even if it's late. Bozo Rothenberg concurs.

Remembering Xisca Bery much, no?

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Hás Diego hit more volleys than Thiem tonight?

 

[I Am Finnish]

I need to go to the toilet
