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

[AceSalvo]

Timmy was playing the first set like how we play at the rec center. Very lackadaisical. Timmy fighting for his life in the 2nd set.

Diego deserves to win this in 3.

 

[MeatTornado]

7 break points

 

[-NN-]

I'm not sure Thiem wants to win the match.

 

[Third Serve]

Fluke's?

His nickname for Thiem since he took out Nadal at the AO. Salt.

 

[Yugram]

Fluke's?

Fluke Kitzbuhelwalker a.k.a. Thiem.

 

[tennisjedi]

Diego with a super great escape.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Finally holds!!!

 

[BeatlesFan]

They're really battling hard to have their ashes scattered across the net from Nadal in the semi

Diego could at least make a 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 match out of it in the semis. Thiem would get beaten down like a nail from a sledgehammer.

 

[Terenigma]

Huge hold and that will hurt Thiem. Time to attack this service game hard and snatch the second set?

 

[The Green Mile]

This game has lasted 15 minutes, longer than Rafa's sets.

Rafa could beat a man 6/0 and it'll still be done in 34 minutes

 

[Kalin]

Pete Samprtzman isn't playing too badly today... some crisp volleys, as expected

 

[Meles]

 

[Amritia]

Comfortable hold there for Diego

 

[mike danny]

I think this just isn't Thiem's day. Diego is too solid and Thiem just can't break through.

 

[MeatTornado]

Fluke's?

Yugram still hasn't let go of Thiem winning a couple net-cord points in the AO QF this year.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Watch Domi get broken immediately now to hand the set to the little fella. 15 totally wasted minutes for him.

 

[Meles Fan.]

Can he hold

me thinks not.

 

[TennisFan3]

That is why you need to have a BIG serve. Otherwise you keep rallying forever and do not wrap up games.
Nadal is literally the only ATG without a big serve.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Fluke Kitzbuhelwalker a.k.a. Thiem.

That's so harsh.

 

[Yugram]

Salt.

Truth.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

USO 2012 semis disagree with you.

Not really.

 

[RF-18]

Thiem is in huge trouble. I didn't think it would get here.

 

[-NN-]

Diego could at least make a 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 match out of it in the semis. Thiem would get beaten down like a nail from a sledgehammer.

So what you're saying is Diego could at least lose in straight sets, whereas Thiem would just lose in straight sets.

Excite.

 

[Meles Fan.]

Watch Domi get broken immediately now to hand the set to the little fella. 15 totally wasted minutes for him.

Just to add to my misery haha

 

[Amritia]

Doesn't it make you appreciate how good he is even more? One of the reasons I love Nadal

 

[BeatlesFan]

Yugram still hasn't let go of Thiem winning a couple net-cord points in the AO QF this year.

Maybe he needs to check into the Hotel Federer and deal with 40-15 in a Wimbledon final.

 

[MeatTornado]

His nickname for Thiem since he took out Nadal at the AO. Salt.

More salty than I was over 40-15, which I didn't think was possible.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Wasted 7 bp's in 1 game
Is that a record?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Diego holds! Massive missed chance by thiem. That could affect him mentally. Great volleys at net by Diego. Huge game for thiem, can’t afford to go 2 sets down.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Worried?

 

[bluetrain4]

I've seen more volleying at this FO than at a lot of non-FO Slams. I like it. It's also a drop shot bonanza.

 

[StrongRule]

Fluke's?

I guess you should visit this forum more often. He calls Thiem like this for many months now.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

As I said before, it cannot happen in perpetuity. Just as Fed started to lose in Wimbledon, Nadal will start to lose at RG too.
Moreover Djokovic is playing some of his best tennis and the conditions suit him as well and work against Nadal. So this could be the year IMO.

It could be but until it happens I not getting my hopes up. Seen this story many many times.

 

[Yugram]

A couple lol

 

[AceSalvo]

I think this just isn't Thiem's day. Diego is too solid and Thiem just can't break through.

Tim could have played better in the 1st set. He just didnt care enough.

 

[MeatTornado]

Timmy throwing in the towel now with these drop shots

 

[Bender]

Nadal is literally the only ATG without a big serve.

That's youngdal

Oldal has been serving deceptively hard since 2017 hitting even his second serves well over 100 mph

 

[mike danny]

Math? Nadal certainly isn't winning 'every slam on the planet' and you were fine when Federer won slams at an even more advanced age. Given that Federer had already won more slams than anyone else, that should have been even more 'tiring' but it wasn't for you.

You are a hypocrite and are digging deeper each time.

Of course I was happy that Fed finally won 3 slams after 4 years of not winning one. Have Djokodal gone through that? No.

Nadal has won 5 slams and is still 34. That's how many slams Fed won in 10 years.

You haven't debunked squat.

 

[The Green Mile]

omfg, Diego....

 

[MeatTornado]

A couple lol

It's doesn't matter. 3, 4, whatever. Your behavior that day was pathetic and every time you write "Fluke" it's a reminder of that.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Thiem is playing like Fedr & Gioco this match those fail droppers and wasting bp's

 

[tennisjedi]

WTH Schwartzman?

 

[Krish872007]

Thiem is in huge trouble. I didn't think it would get here.

Schwartzman has played well this tournament and Thiem is mentally struggling. If Schwartzman wins this set he could do it in straights

 

[Terenigma]

Bad BAD mistake from Schwartzman there. He had the chance for an easy SP there, 30-30 is very different to 15-40

 

[All-rounder]

I'm gonna bookmark that miss from Diego

 

[Meles Fan.]

What are these obnoxious decisions by Thiem?!

 

[The Guru]

Schwartzman really bailed out Thiem here he should be up 2-0 rn

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Peak clownery rite nao. mugshots by tim but diegah hits them decimetres out

 

[Third Serve]

It's doesn't matter. 3, 4, whatever. Your behavior that day was pathetic and every time you write "Fluke" it's a reminder of that.

Yeah, it wasn't pretty to look at. People have gotten banned for less.

 

[-NN-]

OK Diego, put this gassed man out of his misery and swat him away so that you can win 9-11 games in the SF.
