2020 US Open QF - Demonstache vs Der Thieminator

[The Green Mile]

When your winning winning under 50% of your 1st serve points, maybe try and stop rolling them in at 100 mph and below?

There it is, 120 and 129 mph serve speed points won.

 

[DSH]

Meles, don't keep watching this torture for the Australian fans!

 

[tudwell]

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.

I think they’ll be fine. They’re fit guys and Zverev’s been so up-and-down this event. He’ll donate a set at least from nerves/poor play/double faults.

 

[Meles Fan.]

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.

 

[Breakpointerer]

 

[Meles]

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.

 

[PeoplesChamp]

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

I was sick of Coric at that point lol. Was glad to see him suffer

 

[The Green Mile]

Commentators have lost all hope on Demon lol, askig each other what questions they should ask Thiem post match. Quite unprofessional tbh

 

[Third Serve]

Ain't often that I agree with Meles on the next gen, but this is one of those times.

 

[DSH]

I think they’ll be fine. They’re fit guys and Zverev’s been so up-and-down this event. He’ll donate a set at least from nerves/poor play/double faults.

Exactly, nor that they were the old guard like the Big3!

I've noticed quite a lot of misery, boredom and despair from the commentators this tournament, at least on the men's side. Does the pandemic depress them or does it speak for the state of the game?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Alex breaks Thiem and it's back on serve.

Come on Alex, at least make a tiebreaker!

 

[The Blond Blur]

The Demon has zero weapons but I will say this, the kid has by far the most fight in him out of all the Nextgenners.

 

[tudwell]

The comeback begins!

Demon in five!

 

[Meles]

Demonstache

 

[Meles Fan.]

Demon oozes class

 

[DSH]

Kyrgios

 

[Meles]

Meles, don't keep watching this torture for the Australian fans!

They don't seem as enthusiastic as usual, but that just might be due to lack of quality seen at this USO, I haven't watched many good matches tbh...

 

[DSH]

****, Thiem!

He has to.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Huge from Alex!!!!

Saves triple break points.

Leads 4-3 in this set.

 

[Meles Fan.]

Thiem you BP choker!

 

[-NN-]

At a glance De Minaur looks like a severely malnourished Stan Wawrinka.

 

[Third Serve]

Huge hold, but Thiem shoulda nabbed one of those BPs.

 

[PeoplesChamp]

I think De Minaur will be this gens gatekeeper 4th rd/QF guy once the big 3 are gone.

 

[Nostradamus]

if Dominick is able to manhandle small version of Medvedev,, then what will thiem do to the real version ?

 

[PeoplesChamp]

At a glance De Minaur looks like a severely malnourished Stan Wawrinka.

Lol yeah kinda does

 

[BGod]

Thiem should be embarrassed to drop a set in this match.

 

[DSH]

Thiem, what the **** are you doing!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

WHAT A SHOT! The wheels on Alex, wow.

15-30.

 

[Meles]

All the geriatric and lostgen pigeons being shown as total chumps

 

[Meles]

WHAT A SHOT! The wheels on Alex, wow.

15-30.

 

[-NN-]

Will De Minaur have a better career than Tomic and Kyrgios?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I think De Minaur will be this gens gatekeeper 4th rd/QF guy once the big 3 are gone.

Yep like a David Goffin

 

[-NN-]

All the geriatric and lostgen pigeons being shown as total chumps

What gen is Thiem? He seems in limbo.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Gotta give Demon credit for still hanging in there and showing positive body language. He's got a great attitude even when down two sets.

 

[Sudacafan]

Will De Minaur have a better career than Tomic and Kyrgios?

Why are you placing the bar that high?

 

[-NN-]

And will Kokkinakis rise from the dead or will he break his back the next time he tries to run on a tennis court?


Remember when the future of Aussie tennis looked so promising? Hmmmm.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

ADM hanging with Thiem at least towards the end of the match.

Thiem holds serve, 4-4.

 

[megamind]

Is DeMinaur using hit to the forehand strategy?

 

[Sudacafan]

What gen is Thiem? He seems in limbo.

He is in a generation of his own.

 

[megamind]

What gen is Thiem? He seems in limbo.

PCB gen / current gen

 

[PeoplesChamp]

Yep like a David Goffin

Occasionally looking very promising before eventually succumbing. I was really rooting for him at ATP Cup vs Nadal. For a moment I believed in him

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Will De Minaur have a better career than Tomic and Kyrgios?

You could argue that De Minaur's career is basically already better than Tomic's.

ADM has 3 titles Tomic has 4.

Both have made 6 finals, both have a runner up at an ATP500 (ADM has 2)

Both now have a slam QF appearance.

Tomic's career high was #17, ADM's is #18.

ADM also has a Premier Mandatory title in doubles.

De Minaur isn't far from eclipsing all of Tomic's achievements.

 

[Sudacafan]

The rest of the field seems to play better when the Big Three are not around, or is it just me?

 

[Steve0904]

That was a horrible overhead.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Thiem breaks and he'll serve for his first USO SF!

 

[megamind]

Does ADM use kick serves as his first serve?

 

[Breakpointerer]

YES
Now close it out and set up that semi
