2020 US Open QF - Demonstache vs Der Thieminator

[PeoplesChamp]

I hope this is the last major EVER without fans.

 

[Pheasant]

De Manure is playing a crappy game, no pun intended.

 

[Third Serve]

Timmy will change his outfit \O/

Can't blame him. I would too if I was drenched like that.

 

[DSH]

Zverev vs PCB incoming!

Can they got defaulted too?

 

[Meles Fan.]

Hope it ends before I leave for work!

 

[TennisFan3]

Thiem is definitely a great player. He's improved every year, and has fewer and fewer weaknesses. He's almost impossible for anyone to beat in big tournaments.

Having said that, he's one of those guys, like Nalbandian and Ivanisevic, who upon reaching the back end, find there's someone waiting who's just a bit better. He's just not quite naturally gifted enough to be a 10 tournament/world number one type player. I hope he's able to have a season like that some day, but I doubt it.

Not to mention he's a MENTAL MIDGET. He chokes more than any top player I've ever seen.
He LACKS BELIEF. He's just NOT champion material. =

He might win a slam here and there. With LUCK. But he will NEVER be a great player. Thiem lacks that secret sauce that the very best have.
He is designed to be a slam finalist and a pretender, but not a Hall of Famer.

 

[The Green Mile]

So good, 15-30...

 

[PeoplesChamp]

Hope it ends before I leave for work!

Pretty sure Domi is safe

 

[Aussie Darcy]

De Minaur goes down. Looks ok.

 

[megamind]

That was going out alex.. whyy you hit it

 

[The Green Mile]

The difference in the quality of 1st serve and 1st serve return is immense. Oh, ADM slips...

 

[The Green Mile]

That was going out alex.. whyy you hit it

That would have been a clean slice passing winner

Dunno you see him (Thiem)_ beat Nadal on clay? Just redlining with nerve/verve...

 

[Third Serve]

That lob gave me Fed Dubai 2005 vibes

 

[TennisFan3]

Perhaps when Nadal is old. But then even if he beats Nadal, someone else will beat Thiem.
I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see Thiem as a multi slam winner.

Agree. As huge fan the development of his hard court game has me dreaming again like in early 2016 where he beat nadal for clay title, fed for grass, and his serve driven triumph in Acapulco. Pretty clear his best is yet to come.

 

[The Blond Blur]

Alex has played a very uninspiring, pedestrian match. He volleys pretty damn well and has great technique, he should be up there more often.

I thought he could maybe grab a set due to Timmy’s frequent patchy play/mental walk abouts. But he’s just been bullied off the ground all match.

 

[DSH]

Best of five sets on clay?

 

[Meles Fan.]

Pretty sure Domi is safe

After witnessing Tsitsi’s choke then anything can happen

 

[Meles]

De Manure is playing a crappy game, no pun intended.

Lol, new variant

Is like watching Wawa against Joker!

 

[Nate7-5]

Alex De Manure

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

The conditions seem heavy and it seems to me that DeMinauer just doesn't have the weapons needed to hurt Thiem.

 

[DSH]

Meles, you can go to work now!

 

[Meles Fan.]

Double break now plz

 

[Third Serve]

Thiem improving as the match goes on.

 

[PeoplesChamp]

After witnessing Tsitsi’s choke then anything can happen

That was one of the worst chokes ever for sure. De Minaur has a heck of a lot to further to go here than Coric did though.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I fear Thiem and Medvedev will have an absolute epic in the SF and the winner will be tired for the final and that Zverev will just benefit immensely and walk through to his first slam.

 

[Meles]

Perhaps when Nadal is old. But then even if he beats Nadal, someone else will beat Thiem.
I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see Thiem as a multi slam winner.

I think his match v Medly may shine some light on things. Two slams in a month possible.

 

[Third Serve]

I fear Thiem and Medvedev will have an absolute epic in the SF and the winner will be tired for the final and that Zverev will just benefit immensely and walk through to his first slam.

My fears too.

De Minaur and weapons does not belong together in a phrase.

Odd thing, Coric is the one deserving of choker label

This so much.
That bratty fraud is always lucky.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Arrest me.

 

[Nate7-5]

This is the biggest pile of dung quarterfinal night session Ive ever seen. Imagine buying expensive tickets for these

Almost hope Carreno Busta wins that one. I mean he was the one who was aggravating Djokovic which resulted in the default. On top of it, many people would call that an asterisk.

Eww

Wasn't 2019 Rome a choke? Trying to recall

 

[The Green Mile]

Do a Youzhny

 

[Meles]

My fears too.

Medly coming at Tim serves a Blazing, given the cramping today he’ll not want to play his normal game of attrition.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I'd take that over Zverev

 

[DSH]

Eww

 

[Third Serve]

It was. He won like 13 more points than Fed but still managed to lose.

Yeah anyone but Zverev its just so unfortunate that Med and Thiem meet in the semis and not the final

 

[DSH]

Demon, RUN!

 

[Third Serve]

I don't want Zverev winning the whole thing, but it would bring greater legitimacy (if you can call it that) to a win by Thiem or Medvedev if they beat a fellow nextgenner to win it.

 

[Meles]

Coric chokes with regularity. Plays Tim well so you forgot Miami.

ABZ!

Oh for sure, i'm saying if the Thiem/Medvedev play an epic, i'd rather PCB gets through and nabs the slam. If it's not an exhausting 5 set thriller than definitely Zverev v the winner of the SF with Med/Thiem winning that final.
