2023 Paris Open ATP master's 1000 R64 - Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI) v/s Dominic Thiem (AUT)

[Rafa4LifeEver]

A bit if nostalgia as 2 of the most powerful one-handed backhand players are about to collide, both removed from their best years, yet still showing sparks of good form here and there.

Predict the result & scoreline, folks.

Thiem is warmed up from playing quallies, I think he might get this one.

I like Wawrinka though, happy if he wins too!

Now we have match threads for the Senior Tour?

Lol. Wawrinka takes first set 6-3 breaking Thiem at 4-3 after a 10 minute battle of a game where both players had many chances squandered. Wawrinka broke on his 5th break point. Then served out the set at 40-15 with an ace.

Thiem up a break in the second but struggling on serve at the moment. Break point Stan. Good match so far.

It is almost 2 in the morning in Paris now, and it's still only 3-3 in the third

Epic match. Looking forward to the HLs

Tough schedule for them.. But great effort from them both.. Domi was slightly better and luckier.. Domi vs Rune next challenge.
Rune fav but you never know in tennis..

Sadly Wawrinka lost from match point up on his serve
