Australian Open 2021 3rd Round match :- Dominic Thiem (world no. 3) versus Nicholas Kyrgious (world no. 47)

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Thiem serving for it.

 

[Tsongerer]

and disrespecting his opponents with his Underhand serve... Also all you USTA players, trying that stupid underhand serve will be DQed from all USTA matches for a year

Only boomers think underhand serves shouldn't be allowed/should be stigmatized.

 

[The Green Mile]

What a drop shot lol, fooled me

 

[Djokovic2011]

I can't believe that Kyrgios is only 25. Those bags under his eyes are dreadful for someone so young.

 

[zagor]

What a shame too. Kyrgios would actually have a chance if he served lights out, whereas anybody with a brain knows Thiem has absolutely no chance.

Kyrgios never beat Novak in a slam, Thiem did and even played a 5 setter last year in the AO final where Novak has a flawless record.

 

[weakera]

Kyrgios' odyssey as a journeyman looks set to continue. Six years now since he will have advanced beyond 4R at the slam level if Thiem closes this out. Coming up on four years since he advanced past the 4R above the 500 level

Well last time it was in the final so an even bigger match.

djok is unbeaten at that stage of this event for a reason imo

Lots of sleepless nights getting drunk and playing FIFA

It's weird how he is considered so much more exciting than the world number one considering the current number one is the third or fourth best player of all time.

He is constantly attacking world #1 to get Instagram/Twitter followers.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

We’ve seen Thiem choke countless times while serving for matches. There’s still a sliver of hope, even with Nick’s crap returning.

Great touch from Thiem followed by some mammoth hitting by nick.
15-15

 

[Hitman]

Nick trying

 

[ForehandCross]

Nerves of steel

More like sleepless nights with the World #1 living rent free in his head

Nice lovely kid cheering for thiem. (The kid in blue hat)

What a nonsense. I don’t really like Kyrgios, but surely this has nothing to do with him using a perfecly legal and tactically reasonable shot. And surely nowhere would someone getting disqualified for following the rules.

@Third Serve waking up to the match being over

 

[The Green Mile]

So good from Thiem, MP.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

em pee

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Match point thiem

 

[Standaa]

Nice lovely kid cheering for thiem. (The kid in blue hat)

a future sir.

 

[BoxbeamsFTW]

Strange and sometimes disrespectful crowd. I think some people have switched to cheering for Thiem. Or some people left and other people waiting outside came in.

MATCH POINT THIEM NOW!

 

[MeatTornado]

Nick's made some great returns in this game, even in points he ended up losing. Unexpectedly solid effort down to the end.

 

[Terenigma]

GSM Thiem! So glad he flushed Kyrgios out of the tournament. I've never cheered so hard for Thiem to win a match before today but it just shows that Nick is a flash in the pan player. He will never win anything big in his career other than biggest DB in tennis history.

 

[chjtennis]

Thiem is a beast. Heavy, heavy FH follwed by heavier BH.

 

[ForehandCross]

M.P TAKE IT PLZ

 

[Hitman]

Epic finish!

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Meles wins lol

 

[Poisoned Slice]

He's a great attraction, and you can hear the roar from his fans, yeah, yeah, he is box office. He's just lacking in too many key areas. That is why he will never be the guy.

 

[ibbi]

What a way to finish.

 

[weakera]

That backhand was pure sex

 

[Enceladus]

Did Thiem ever won a match when he was 2-0 sets down?

Did you miss last year's USO final?

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Thiem needs an easier match in the next round. Can’t have these long matches. Concerned about his fitness.

 

[Breakpointerer]

 

[The Guru]

One 3rd round match doesn't erase his record in big finals.

Name the players who have a good record in finals vs Nadal on PC and Novak on RLA. Oh wait no one would.

 

[The Green Mile]

TAKE A BOW THIEM!!!! What a match and what a mental performance from the Austrian.

 

[I Am Finnish]

What a point to finish it

 

[davced1]

But ppl will say he has bad personality

At least he is not fake. Some people just rubs him the wrong way.

 

[MeatTornado]

[Insert THIEMINATED gif]

 

[Deleted member 688153]

perfectly 1hr 40 past my bedtime. love it when the timing works out

 

[BeatlesFan]

Well, all credit to Domi, his fitness gets him through, Nick’s exciting, fabulous level compromised by a few mental errors. Dang. Great and exciting match though!

 

[bezs]

Solid play from Thiem to get the win.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

EPIC

 

[Krish0608]

What a way to end it. Thiem's mental strength is massively underrated.

 

[Zetty]

Good match, shoulda been in Rod Laver Arena

 

[CYGS]

Yes garbage is trashed and taken out.

 

[ForehandCross]

YESSS YESS YESS LOVE YOU DOMINIC CMON .

 

[BoxbeamsFTW]

No miracle. Austrian's done it. Congrats!!

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Yes, go home clown. Go tweet some new rubbish.

 

[romeo8880]

Nice lovely kid cheering for thiem. (The kid in blue hat)

I 100% would have hit him and got kicked out
