“Roger Federer congratulated me on my US Open win,” Thiem told Blick.

“I promise, I will do everything so that Roger remains number one (smiling).

“No other player can be compared to Roger, he‘s one of a kind, a much more aesthetic and elegant player than I am.”

Disappointing Thiem...what a suck up

 

[SinneGOAT]

What the hell does that mean? What can he even do? Throw whenever he faces Roger? Pay the ATP tour to kick Rafa and Djokovic out?

 

[ForehandCross]

If Timmy continues to suck up to Elitist Arrogant Nose , he ends up losing a fan.

 

[joohan]

No argument with that last sentence...

 

[MasterZeb]

It was a little joke. In other words, he will try and do everything to win the slam, and become world number one as well. Isn’t that the goal of every single player ever? Except Tomic.

 

[Nadal_Django]

That Laver Cup 2 day light job, must be one helluva lucrative endeavour.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Will he deliberately lose to Fed in a slam final, if at all that happens?

 

[JackGates]

What the hell does that mean? What can he even do? Throw whenever he faces Roger? Pay the ATP tour to kick Rafa and Djokovic out?

Obviously it means he won't let Djokodal to win any more slams, plus he thinks Fed is done.

[Legend of Borg]

Tim joins the squad

welcome aboard my guy

now go beat Hafa in straights, thanks

 

[D.Nalby12]

In other words he is saying he is targetting #1 spot. He needs to get there asap so record is saved. Go Thiem !

 

[Meles Fan.]

 

[Hood_Man]

Join me!

It is the only way!

 

[weakera]

Interesting, Medvedev had told Nadal that he hopes he gets the slem record.

 

[D.Nalby12]

If Thiem wins French beating both or either Djokovic or Nadal - he will instantly become hero in eyes of Fed Fans. Many already appreciate his offensive style and imagine the case if he denies #20 and #310 to Djokdal !

 

[SinneGOAT]

Obviously it means he won't let Djokodal to win any more slams, plus he thinks Fed is done.

Well Thiem definitely is a plant now, plus how is he gonna make sure they lose? He’s lost to them in finals like 4 times.

I don't know, but he never said he will do it anyway, he just said he will do anything he can. Also won't they decline? I mean DJokovic already has problems with Thiem.

Why not Thiem, since Stan is getting old and Kyrgios is no good?

Wimbly 2019 was Fed's last ever finals apearance.

 

[TaiHaiChen]

I hope this is a joke. The last thing he needs now is being charged with gamemanship.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Hello, based department?

 

[Third Serve]

By the way, I hope many of you know this is a joke, right?

 

[junior74]

Humour and attempted charm is like fuel on the Djokodal bonfire.

A Thiem title would give Djokodal a "young" "ATG" to enhance their results from this weak era. A win win for Djokodal

 

[Raul_SJ]

By the way, I hope many of you know this is a joke, right?

Thiemster is not joking. He is saying that there is a new Sheriff in town.
Joker and Rafa are done and will be frozen at 17 and 19.
Leaving Fed to retire as the GOAT with 20.

 

[zagor]

If Timmy continues to suck up to Elitist Arrogant Nose he end up losing a fan.

I'm not sure how he'll survive.

 

[Third Serve]

Oh, he definitely wants that RG title. But not really to preserve Fed’s record, although that would be a side-effect of a win there.

Fanatics are not exactly known for their sense of humour

 

[Raul_SJ]

Yes a side effect. Not seeing any sucking up to Fed here as others are claiming. Why would any player suck up to Fed. Fed is cocky and not particularly likeable.

 

[FedFanBoy]

Djokers problems with Thiem will continue at slams, that much is certain.

 

[TheNachoMan]

OHBH gang

 

[Omega_7000]

Funny seeing all the bitter Djokodal fans getting their panties in a bunch....what a bunch of whiners just like their idols

Bit harsh

 

[TheNachoMan]

Hello, based department?

 

[Nadal_King]

Lol it also means he is saying Federer is not able enough now to keep himself as number 1

 

[nochweiterroger]

GO THIEM.
But have you noticed the draw?

 

[PeoplesChamp]

 

[Mainad]

Thiem's clearly a Fedhead. Who knew?

 

[Deleted member 771911]

He's been doing a terrible job tbh.

 

[SonnyT]

He's been doing a terrible job tbh.

Better than anyone else! That's what matters!

Good for him! Any future ATG and #1 would think like that. And bonus for saying it brash and aloud!

 

[Lleytonstation]

If Timmy continues to suck up to Elitist Arrogant Nose he end up losing a fan.

But gained one today as well.

@Meles Thiem is starting to come around on me. Hope he can get better on clay though.

 

[SonnyT]

Because Thiem is willing to say it aloud, everyone knows he's not afraid to face and beat Nadal and Djokovic at majors! Most importantly, Nadal and Djokovic know it!

And it's not empty bragging, he has done it!

One next step is reaching the Top 2, so some of the time, he can have half of a draw to himself, opposite those 2.

 

[JackGates]

Thiem's clearly a Fedhead. Who knew?

Who isn't, even Djokovic and Nadal admire Fed's talent and artistry, Djokovic always applauded Fed's shotmaking.
Of course anyone who is good at tennis would admire Fed, even if they don't like him. I don't think anyone who is good at tennis wouldn't admire Fed's talent lol.

 

[ND-13]

Even if Thiem does not win RG but beats Nadal, he would have not only made a great statement but also help himself to No 2 ranking soon.

But he has to beat Stan and Nadal. This is where we are going to see what he is made of... Not the USO 2020 final against Zverev.

 

[Hitman]

Why does Thiem need to even mention Federer here.

 

[Beckerserve]

Interesting, Medvedev had told Nadal that he hopes he gets the slem record.

When was this?

 

[Beckerserve]

Why does Thiem need to even mention Federer here.

Why not?

 

[I Am Finnish]

Oh wow

 

[Hitman]

Why not?

How about saying, I'm doing it for me. Let Fed worry about Fed.

 

[Beckerserve]

How about saying, I'm doing it for me. Let Fed worry about Fed.

Ive not seen the context so im assuming Federer was mentioned to him . If not it is a bizarre remark.
