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

[Dominic & Andrey]

If you are having drinks in the beach with interesting company, it is.

Lol I would enjoy that

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Big game here.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Nextgen volley

Agassi volley.

 

[Third Serve]

Good ol’ next gen volleys to save the day. I was getting worried there.

 

[Hitman]

Orson was free in the 60s and 70s but was too busy being pompous and lazy...

I agree that Orson let it slip at that point, but that is for me him several years past his prime also. Stanley was in his prime back in the late 60s and 70s, even he started make oddballs later.

 

[ForehandCross]

Too much power from Thiem.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Amazing slicing.

 

[abmk]

slice filled rally. back to deuce.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Some people need to complain all the time. Do you even enjoy watching tennis ?

 

[Third Serve]

Fail slice

 

[Hitman]

Now Thiem is standing a little too far back, it's like he feels Med isn't going to be at the net.

 

[gn]

Poisoned Slice from Thiem with good effect.

 

[Sysyphus]

Tim is playing such dynamic tennis these days

unjustly maligned as a brainless basher

 

[Terenigma]

How is Thiem getting to all these balls? Ridiculous movement from Thiem but Medvedev held his nerve and produced a massive hold!

 

[abmk]

med holds on. 3-2.

 

[Third Serve]

Tough hold from Med but he threw in a nice couple of points to seal it.

 

[Steve0904]

Nice recovery from Med after that next gen volley.

 

[James P]

That was a really tight game.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

We can pretend Thiem is Fed and Med is Djoko

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

I think Thiem could do more damage with his forehand, a bit too defensive

He never made a bad movie after the crappy Spartacus (which wasn't really his). Though I'm not a fan of Strangelove, too unfunny...

 

[Third Serve]

How can he be a ballbasher if he has no weapons? /s

He is taking supplement for IQ boost.

 

[Hitman]

Thiem is asking a lot of questions at the moment, Med needs to stay steady here.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Meddy is going to step it up now!

 

[UnderratedSlam]

We can pretend Thiem is Fed and Med is Djoko

We can pretend RF's career is over.

And not a second too soon.

 

[Third Serve]

We can pretend Thiem is Fed and Med is Djoko

So they can create moral victories in stead of the Big 3? I like this thinking.

Thiem is, essentially, an inconsistent pusher

which is why he will never win another title in his career.

 

[ForehandCross]

I am liking the quality it's not sky high but it's very good. Just little mental hiccups from Danill

 

[tudwell]

Med seemed like the better player for the first 4 or so games, but now it really feels like Thiem’s in command. Med’s serve is keeping him in it thus far but Thiem’s playing excellent offensive and defensive tennis. Very composed, comprehensive match from Thiem. But Med could still turn things around.

Zeballos would love to play in this era.

 

[gn]

Good hold from Thiem. Unlike last year, he did not take a break in 2nd set this time.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Bear trying to play WTA 60s tennis speed levels...

Thiem isn't falling for it.

 

[NoleFam]

It feels like Medevedev is barely holding on now. Thiem is outplaying him in a lot of these rallies.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Very big point coming up now...

 

[Sudacafan]

I don’t get it why so many bh slices are played on a court like this.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Lord of the Slice

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Tiger uppercut return.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Huge point.

 

[Hitman]

I feel Med is teetering

 

[James P]

Mad Lad getting mad pressure once more.

 

[Gazelle]

O Thiem, that was open goal.

 

[Terenigma]

Thiem.... that was your chance!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Thiem makes THE error of the match.

 

[gn]

What a waste!

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

I feel Med is teetering

I feel you're right!

 

[abmk]

lol, Med SnVing on 2nd serve on BP and Thiem misses that pass?

 

[James P]

Big yikes Timmy

 

[Sysyphus]

Ay ay ay, that must be a frustrating miss up at the net
