The second quote isn't a flip flop. He could have won even though he sucks

Bingo and he gets Almagro in 3 or 4 days. Tough for Rafa.
Will get better the more he wins.

Ive never said I don't like Thiem. In fact, I've said that he has talent and is going to be a top player who can win a GS once the top 5 clears up (which looks like is happening). I just like Magro more.A Thiem fan is born.
Flip flop.

If Almagro can take Djoko 3 in Rome last year. This Almagro or Baby Almagro has a real shot.Interesting that 2 of today's unexpected winners (Klizan and Thiem) both had to fend off match points in earlier rounds before going on to take the title! Maybe the younger generation is finally starting to show some balls as well as hit them with their racquets?
But what will you do when your Austrian prince comes up against Serbia's most famous ex-pat?

I'm hoping to see a Djokovic/Thiem FO final, at least that way it will be a win-win situation for me.Interesting that 2 of today's unexpected winners (Klizan and Thiem) both had to fend off match points in earlier rounds before going on to take the title!

I really do think Dominic will win it over the next few years - he has all the tools to succeed on this surface!

I will watch that final simply because of Thiem. Hopefully he beats that bore and saves tennis.I'm hoping to see a Djokovic/Thiem FO final, at least that way it will be a win-win situation for me.
If you think I'm a fake, its a no. Im a Rafa fan and I still like to watch Roger, Wawrinka, etc...players that are exciting. But sorry mate, watching Djokovic is like watching grass grow in slow motion.
If you like Novak, you should consider watching Tim Henman.

Superb match. I'm happy Thiem won, I was afraid Almagro could capitalize after winning 5 games in a row, but he didn't give up. I'm excited that he got so strong mentally, because last year he lost way too many tiebreaks (unlike 2014), but now his mental strength seems to be right there again.
I hope he finally starts winning in masters (QFs on slower HCs and clay would be awesome), because then he might climb to #16 before the FO.

No byes in a 500, so Nadal also has to win his first round match. It's against Pablo Carreno Busta, who took a set off Nadal in Doha. Almagro plays Daniel Munoz de la Nava.

Magro fan too since watching him play some at Kooyong this year (never seen him play like that before). Watching any Magro matches of significance (Nadal should be soon.) But, I just like Thiem more.
Hopefully these two continue to make this perhaps the best clay court season ever (Murray will be interesting this year.)
