2020 US Open QF - Demonstache vs Der Thieminator

[Meles]

Thiem celebrating his clay Davis Cup play in a tough match with De Minaur:

37/2018		AUT VS AUS - DC WG - PO	Clay	Dominic Thiem	Alex DE Minaur	6-4 6-2 3-6 6-4
35/2017	R128	US Open	Hard	Dominic Thiem	Alex DE Minaur	6-4 6-1 6-1

If a far younger Demon can extend Thiem that well on clay, then this match on fast hard should be a great one.

Spoiler: Rhine

 

[McGradey]

Will be a step up in intensity for Thiem
de Minaur could cause some issues, make a lot of balls and throw Thiem's timing off, but I expect Thiem to overpower him in the end

 

[James P]

Yeah, pretty much. May steal a set. Will make Timmy work hard for it, but Timmy's weapons >>>>> De Minaur's weapons.

 

[Third Serve]

Unstoppable force and immovable object.

Except Thiem's weapons are quite better than Demon's defense.

 

[stringertom]

Shouldn’t the Austrian have the terrible mustache???

Li’l Thiemmie in a blitz, losing seven games max In 90 minutes.

 

[Tennis_dude101]

Rooting for the Aussie!

 

[Red Rick]

The Austrian to show the Stache who is the real Führer

 

[TheNachoMan]

Demon gets blitzkriegd in 3

[Hitman]

Thiem all the way in this match IMO

 

[D-Lite]

Thiem in 3, 4 max.

 

[Gazelle]

Can't ever imagine DeMinaur making a slam semi.

 

[tennis24x7]

Can't ever imagine DeMinaur making a slam semi.

Why not, he is a better version of Ferrer

 

[kishnabe]

Ferrer has a Weapon with his forehand. De Minaur just retrives, more like Simon.

pretty much this.
just a bridge too far for de minaur

 

[Winners or Errors]

Well, they still have to play it, and if plan A doesn't work for Thiem, which it sometimes doesn't, Demon has a chance. I am a bit scared of his fashion choices, but I'd like to see a counter-puncher make it. Hard for a guy like de Minaur to play against someone who just sits back and blasts the ball like Thiem, though. I think his game'd be better suited to playing attackers. That's why they play, though, and I like surprises.

 

[TheNachoMan]

If Tim loses then I resign from watching this tournament any further

 

[mike danny]

Yeah, pretty much. May steal a set. Will make Timmy work hard for it, but Timmy's weapons >>>>> De Minaur's weapons.

Well, of course weapons >>> no weapons.

Sweep. Pospisil would have beaten Minaur in 4 if he hadn't mentally collapsed.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I'm sad this match is so late for me. Though at least I'll get to see Rublev Vs Medvedev.

I expect Thiem to beat De Minaur in straights.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Dominic Thiem has got a big butt. It’s as big as him, which isn’t very big, but it’s bigger.

 

[Subway Tennis]

Thiem is taking this.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Thiem in 4!

 

[yokied]

Denim gon break some hearts

 

[BeatlesFan]

Why not, he is a better version of Ferrer

Boy, that's a stretch...at the end of his career, if Demonstache has even 1/4th the career of Ferrer, he should consider himself lucky. Ferrer had an excellent FH, great movement and outrageous stamina. Demon has none of that, at least not yet. Ferrer also won 27 tournaments in his career, he was a great player.

 

[Third Serve]

Bump to keep it in the front page

 

[BeatlesFan]

So sick of waiting, bring on Domi and Demon. After suffering through the Russian match, I'm ready for something interesting.

lmao it wasn’t that bad

 

[James P]

I'll be able to watch this one. Vika appears to be making short work of Mertens, so may be quite soon.

 

[McLovin]

Yeah, wish they’d have put the men’s match on first. Those of us on the ‘right’ coast work for a living and can’t stay up until 1am.

 

[BeatlesFan]

These shrieking WTA beasts better end this soon!

 

[TheNachoMan]

These shrieking WTA beasts better end this soon!

Wish it was separate like NBA and WNBA

If that makes me sexist, so be it..

lol at same age Demon pretty far ahead; time will tell

 

[Sudacafan]

Thiem playing in swimming trunks?

 

[The Green Mile]

That early ballstriking though wat, pretty muh half volleying those massive heavy forehands from Thiem

 

[BeatlesFan]

Both Mac brothers predicting a big Thiem win tonight.

 

[Carax]

Seems like they'll close the roof soon.

[BeatlesFan]

Dimi big on the BH!

 

[The Green Mile]

Thiem has the early break, 2-0.

 

[The Blond Blur]

Timmy gets the early

 

[oldmanfan]

Is it just me, or is Thiem's walking posture a little off today?

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Oh dear. This is going to be a thrashing of the highest order isn't it?

 

[Meles]

Luv the baseline contrast so far. Demon mugged Nadal at ATP Cup, but not this Thiem.

 

[Meles]

Is it just me, or is Thiem's walking posture a little off today?

Probably the shorts, its not you

 

[Third Serve]

Can’t see the match yet. How has it started?

 

[BeatlesFan]

Thiem should be steamrolling instead of playing 30 ball rallies.
