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

[MasterZeb]

ok but can we talk about that dropper?

Молчи

 

[James P]

ok but can we talk about that dropper?

Let's talk about it.

I'll start.

It was terrible.

 

[ibbi]

What has happened to Medvedev's shots? He's tamely hitting them, where is the aggression that has served him so well in the past? Is he trying something to disrupt Thiem?

He's either tired or completely out of ideas and basically given up. No other reason a hellaciously bad volleyer would be going for serve volley attempts like he is right now. It's the only trick he's got left in his bag, and right now it's sort of working. Shame his first serve has sort of deserted him too. He's sort of out fighting a battle with a broken sword.

 

[Third Serve]

Молчи

Sorry, can’t speak German.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Bear is winning this set.

100 pro.

 

[Terenigma]

Thiem down, landed on his (Tennis) ball in his pocket. Seems fine tho!

 

[tudwell]

oh my god rage in german is so sexi, you have to give it to them

Very problematic given the history of angry German ranting. Thiem will be cancelled soon.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Summary of 2020

 

[MasterZeb]

Sorry, can’t speak German.

Why tf is there a pi symbol in the middle of a word

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Thiem's level here is nowhere near the Rafa match...

 

[MeatTornado]

That dastardly GreenSet. This is Federer's fault somehow.

-Yugram

 

[Hitman]

Thiem is knocked out

 

[Sysyphus]

Very problematic given the history of angry German ranting. Thiem will be cancelled soon.

very true

but there was a reason it was so popular for a while, u know

hard not to get a little enticed when people are shouting angrily in German, before u know it you are invading Poland

 

[ibbi]

Thiem's level here is nowhere near the Rafa match...

His level is NEVER that high when he's the favourite.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Super counter.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Moonballev.

 

[abmk]

nice rally!
BP mad lad.

 

[James P]

Wow, what a rally!

 

[Terenigma]

What a great point but WHAT was that shot mid-point?! I didn't dream that did i? Medvedev hit a ridiculously soft moonball after the Thiem volley.

 

[NoleFam]

Wow

 

[cortado]

For all this talk of Med 'hitting flat' that ball sure does bounce high off the court after he hits it.

 

[Steve0904]

What a point

 

[Third Serve]

That point went from moonballing to hard-hitting baselining. tf is this

Nice point tho

 

[tennis_pro]

WOW

 

[UnderratedSlam]

For all this talk of Med 'hitting flat' that ball sure does bounce high off the court after he hits it.

Moonballing like a drunken Arantxa.

 

[Winner]

now that you put it like that

Nadal won big, yes.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Moonballin' Med!

 

[Hitman]

Best point of the match

 

[Pablo1989]

Medvedev is a troll

 

[UnderratedSlam]

That point went from moonballing to hard-hitting baselining. tf is this

Nice point tho

Welcome to Medvedev's Junkyard!

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Medvedev is a troll

This made me laugh out loud...

So true.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Let’s go, Mad Lad!

 

[NoleFam]

I have to say I do like the electronic line calling. No time wasting with useless challenges and they just get on with it. It's easier to watch.

 

[TennisFan3]

I just hope these guys can contest a slam final. We could really use some non big 3 slams.

 

[abmk]

Thiem holds on. 4 all.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Why tf is there a pi symbol in the middle of a word

They're known for their love of math

 

[gn]

Now break him please!

 

[tennis_pro]

Why tf is there a pi symbol in the middle of a word

thats the joke

 

[MeatTornado]

All I want is a 3rd set

 

[James P]

Oh....I really thought he was going to get that one. Great hold by Domi.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

I have to say I do like the electronic line calling. No time wasting with useless challenges and they just get on with it. It's easier to watch.

But they can still hit the referee or the opponent to get DQed.

 

[Steve0904]

Thiem’s defence has been on point today.

 

[tennis_pro]

Thiem has hit the line like over 3 thousand times today

 

[mike danny]

Thiem seems to be a bad match-up for Med. Med can't even win sets against him.

 

[tudwell]

Agh wish Med could’ve broken there. Don’t know why he went for such a passive chip return on break point. Feels like a big game but if Medvedev holds here things could quickly reset.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Thiem plays too often to his opponent's racket.

Needs to pay attention.

 

[ibbi]

For all this talk of Med 'hitting flat' that ball sure does bounce high off the court after he hits it.

This is 21st century tennis, yo. It doesn't matter how you hit it the thing's going to bounce up high.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

YES!

 

[Hitman]

We are entering crunch time

 

[James P]

Thiem has hit the line like over 3 thousand times today

Been thinking the same. Pinpoint accuracy.
