ATP Finals 2020 final: Dominic Thiem (3) vs. Daniil Medvedev (4)

[abmk]

Thiem slow slice draws FH UE from Med. mini-break. 1-0.

 

[Gary Duane]

Wow, I think Theim has already won 4 of 5 TBs...

It's getting so that we might as well skip sets and just play TBs...

 

[Pablo1989]

Last points of the year?

 

[fmadej]

Would've been a shot of the match

 

[James P]

Minibreak back. Let's go!

 

[abmk]

med volley and thiem can't pass him. med gets mini-break back.
2-1 Tim.

 

[ibbi]

Is Dominic gonna win another TB?

If he does they should start calling them Thiem-Breakers.

 

[Hitman]

Is Thiem the tie-break king of 2020?

 

[gn]

Med wins three points in a row after trailing 0-2

Edit: Make it 4

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Now comes the inevitable question... Will Thiem wet the bed in crunch time?

Yup...

 

[Gazelle]

Medvedev is such an unpredictable player. Makes him so tough to play.

 

[Breakpointerer]

4 points in a row for Medvedev

 

[kishnabe]

Yes 0-2 to 3-2. Cmon Mad Lad.

 

[Steve0904]

Med sneaks in for the 4-2 lead.

 

[La Pavoni]

I'm hoping this goes to a third. A shame if it's pretty much decided by that brain fart in the first set from 40-0 up. Apart from that it's been incredibly even

 

[abmk]

med up 5-2 !

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Prime minister running away with the tb

 

[Terenigma]

Can he serve it out? Cmon Med!

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Medberg return-approaching like a boss, mini-break!

 

[UnderratedSlam]

It's over.

Bear lifts the trophy.

You can all go home now.

 

[Sysyphus]

the tempo–retriever is getting into his groove

 

[ibbi]

Medvedev coming up with the killer returns again with the match on the line.

 

[Hitman]

This match deserves a final set

 

[James P]

4 SPs

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Prime minister takes the tb

 

[La Pavoni]

I liked Thiem hitting himself there. Realising it hurt and then doing it again a bit more gently.

 

[Steve0904]

Yesss!!!

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Thiem doesn't like being the favourite?

Then his career won't be nearly as awesome as it could be...

 

[Breakpointerer]

Damn lol
7 straight points in the blink of an eye and we're going 3

 

[Hitman]

Medvedev coming up with the killer returns again with the match on the line.

Djokovic like.

 

[abmk]

med raising his level in the TB and Tim not upto it at all. Med takes it 7-2.

 

[Terenigma]

I knew it. I absolutely knew it, Thiem needed the break or he was going to lose in the tiebreak. Good play from Medvedev tho and on we go to set 3!

 

[James P]

I am so happy to be wrong. 1:1 on to the deciding set!

 

[robin7]

Wow! 7 points in a row by Meddy!

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

That was a disgusting tie break from Thiem

 

[mike danny]

Worst tiebreak from Thiem in 2020.

 

[Slowtwitcher]

BAM!!!

 

[Meles Fan.]

Yeah this is as good as gone now.

 

[Third Serve]

Some unexpected dominance from Mad Lad in the tiebreaker and we’re going three!

 

[weakera]

Medvedev is really good with his back against the wall. Seeing it time and time again from him.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Medvedev is such an unpredictable player. Makes him so tough to play.

Sure, but Thiem had his chances to finish this 63 64.

Now he'll be 2nd again.

 

[Pablo1989]

We will have one set more in this 2020!

 

[abmk]

set 2:
19 winners to 14 UEs for med
7 winners to 9 UEs for tim

 

[Sudacafan]

I just wanted Thiem to win second set so the match ended. I want to do other things. Krap.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Excellent tiebreak from Med. Impressive! Onto the third!

 

[Fed881981]

Damn lol
7 straight points in the blink of an eye and we're going 3

I don't remember seeing a TB like this recently. That was unbelievable.

 

[Born_to_slice]

Virtual bagel in that tiebreak.

 

[SeeingDusk]

i saw thiem up 2-0 in tb, then i checked score like 5 minutes later and it's 7-2 med. wtf happened?

 

[Hitman]

So after both semis went the distance, the final goes the distance also, in the last ever edition of the WTF in the O2

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Thiem, who almost virtually tiebreak-bagelled Djokovic yesterday (0-4 to 6-4), gets a virtual tiebreak bagel from Madlad today (0-2 to 7-2).
