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

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

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

 

[Opendaroof]

Yeaaaaaas!!!!! 5 setter. Kill each other!!!!!

 

[TheNachoMan]

THIEM, YOU SUCK

so lucky Novak got defaulted

 

[AceSalvo]

Everyone singing "The night is so young..."

 

[Ray Mercer]

Thiem is having trouble hitting through Diego in these conditions. Even if Thiem gets through I think he’s toast against a fresh as a daisy Nadal. He’s not going to have anything left.

 

[TennisLBC]

The ATP is very lucky Diego isn't 6'2!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Poor Diego. He is so overmatched.
Thiem on FIRE.

We going 5! Wow!

 

[Rubens]

Diego is winning this. You heard it here first. I am betting my liver on this.

 

[TheAssassin]

How much extra time did they spend in this set just because Diego couldn't close out a 40-0 lol...

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

The last person who needs luck at RG is Rafa, how does he get away with such draws

 

[I Am Finnish]

Schwartzman in 5 he is fresher and younger

 

[GoatOfVirtualSneaker]

come on Diego I believe

 

[Nostradamus]

For these 2 guys,,, 2 days of Rest won't do anything when they face RAFA on friday. They will need more like 1 year of rest if they are to give RAFA any kind of match at all

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

"Diego: I choked.

Tim: Hold my beer. I can choke better."

Not a conversation I am looking forward to.

This is the best match of the tournament so far I don't understand why you are complaining

 

[Third Serve]

Diego is winning this. You heard it here first. I am betting my liver on this.

um

 

[Sudacafan]

Time to break the Isner-Mahut fifth set record in the only tournament in the world where it can still be done!

 

[megamind]

Go Diego Go!

 

[StrongRule]

Lol, every set lasted more than an hour...I expect Thiem to still win this though. But surprised he lost the fourth.

 

[Tsongerer]

What a pointless match. Virtual w/o for Nadsy.

Nadal will have 1 rest day less because of this probably, so not sure about that.

 

[3fees]

The Schwartzman comes thru on Thiems UE,, Going 5

Cheers

[Oval_Solid]

banana and water ok

 

[Leandro2045]

Yeah any Rafa fan has to root for Domi to win this last set.

Thiem will self destroyed himself in the Semis with a galore of UE's after a hour of playing while Diego will make Rafa dig deep for every single point of the match until the end.

 

[Sysyphus]

At one point I was worried that the Nadal–Sinner match would start too soon for me to catch the beginnig.

Now I'm worrying that it may start so late that I won't catch it at all, lol

 

[Born_to_slice]

almost 4 hours and 40 minutes still with the 5 set to play

Without a tiebreak.

 

[Steve0904]

The one law to rule them all: Nadal's next opponent shall be utterly mentally and physically spent before Nadal shall play him.

You can put as many reverse jinxes and voodoo curses on this as you like, it doesn't matter.

 

[ForehandCross]

I don't know now. I think that was the last spurt of top draw effort from Thiem.

He will be on Swartchman mercy.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Lol, every set lasted more than an hour...I expect Thiem to still win this though. But surprised he lost the fourth.

Nadal gonna have a tremendous battle on his hands, no?

 

[weakera]

Ladies should be moved. It's absurd they're really going to start the other QF after 11-12 PM local time lol

 

[bluetrain4]

I have a feeling Diego will still win the set and Thiem will still win the match. At this point, the only fitting end is 12-10 in fifth.

I'll quote myself, lol.

This is insane. I wonder if Thiem is now thinking "I might as well should have lost it at 5-4."

 

[GabeT]

Diego wins the TB. So Thiem lost 2 of the 3 TBs. That's bad but imagine a player that lost 3 of 3 TBs in a match!

 

[TennisFan3]

Considering that Nadal will likely play his match tomorrow - it might be even stevens.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

OMG. Wonders never cease. Diego did NOT choke.

Set 5 here we go. Anyone thinking of a quick set?

Who wins now?

 

[movies99]

Deserved 5th set

 

[daphne]

TTW member: What a boring match?

TTW member 2: Why are you watching it for?

 

[jm1980]

Nadal watching this

 

[Rickenbacker4003]

Schwartzman in 5 he is fresher and younger

Schwartmann is a year older.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Ahhhh chances of Domi winning this is zero now.

Not at all. Diego won't be able to serve it out.

 

[GreedyAlgorithm]

Wow, nad's draw is so tough

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Diego to win now?

 

[jm1980]

Not at all. Diego won't be able to serve it out.

He won't have to. He can break for the match

 

[TennisFan3]

Who wins now?

Thiem. He is just better IMO.
And Nadal will probably play tomorrow.
So one less rest day.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Smh I just remembered that there is a better stream available after 3 hours

 

[Steve0904]

Diego did all that just so he could serve first in the 5th. 5head.

 

[junior74]

I expect a dog fight.

You got it

 

[BeatlesFan]

What's amazing is that Thiem is supposed to be the fittest guy on tour after Rafa/Djoker but Diego's fitness is incredible. He's shown almost no signs of fatigue and is still going strong. All credit to the little guy!

 

[Ronaldo]

Ladies should be moved. It's absurd they're really going to start the other QF after 11-12 PM local time lol

Other courts have lights?

 

[GoatOfVirtualSneaker]

terrible Thiem game

 

[UnforcedTerror]

GSM Dull.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Can Diego win this now or will thiem find a way to win still?

 

[ChrisRF]

Wow... going the absolute FULL journey here...

what's the longest RG match in history?

6:33 (Clement vs Santoro in 2004).

The second longest already was in this tournament (6:05 between Giustino and Moutet in the 1st round).

Until now every set today was over an hour. I wonder if that ever happened for all 5 sets.
