For sure, in 2020 he'll be up 40-0 while serving for the title.

That is a logical fallacy (wrong argument) known as argumentum ad hominem. Argumentum ad hominem: to attack the person who holds an argument, rather than refuting the argument in itself.Anyone who thinks that Thiem's schedule didn't affect his game in the final doesn't know a first thing about tennis, so, in that case, everything fits.

"Everyone who thinks X has no idea of tennis".
"Everyone who thinks Thiem was not tired has no idea of tennis".

I think @Sport is a poster that brings many valid points to the table, but on this particular matter I disagreed
This is bad news. Skipping the dirt seemed to be good for him.
The thread has been deleted but it will always live on in our hearts39 year old Fred plays clay, while Rafa pulls out of his own wedding with a bad knee.
Fred is the real warrior.
Thiem, maybe yeah..Federer is making it even easier for Rafa, because Federer can beat Djokovic or Thiem at Roland Garros
Don't act crazy dude.Feder to win against Nadsy pants if they meet at RG.
You heard it here first.
Also it was the 2nd most successful slam for him this yearHe loves tennis and end of his career. Not strange he wants to play at every slam, experience RG once more.
Don't act crazy dude.
The only way fed can take down rafa on clay is that somehow he atleast gets his 2003-05 ballstriking power back. With this highly diminished power, it's almost impossible to hit through rafa throughout the course of 1 clay set, let alone leave aside a BO5 clay match
One of the classics...Iconic first point of that match!
It wasn't meant to be a 5th at RG, but at least we had it in Rome 2006.One of the classics...
It deserved a 5th, even though it'd mean a 6-1 set for nadal

Some things are not meant to be.
Either way, Rome Final 2006 is the match they never played at Paris.
True.The result could've changed the entire path of fedal rivalry.
Roger never played with same strategies and belief against nadal on clay afterwards

A possible 5th set would have been delayed to Saturday back then. Also generally the rivalry didn’t already have the dynamics we later knew and hated as Federer fans. Maybe Rafa would have thought about Miami suddenly again and Federer would have cruised to an easy win in the 5th.One of the classics...

Exactly, like 2019.This confirms 2020 will be his last year on tour.

So if he didn't he'd play for another 2-3 years at least?But this time around Fred will play the Olympics too.

Remove ralph and the swiss had the real shot this year..
Fed breaking record for most last years on TourSo if he didn't he'd play for another 2-3 years at least?
I think Fed exceeded all reasonablr expectations by making the semi this year. A QF would be a good result for him next yearI don't think Federer can beat Thiem at RG. Not even in a final. Thiem is very tough to beat in best of 5 on clay now. Only Nadal has been able to stop him the last 2 years. And I'm not really sure how long can he stop him from winning the French.
wth is fred?39 year old Fred plays clay, while Rafa pulls out of his own wedding with a bad knee.

Weak era chump from the stone age that goes under many nameswth is fred?
Well, if RF had been more DILIGENT in his "youth" then Rafa and Novak wouldn't be so close, right?Poor guy. Has to try and stop Ralph by himself from eclipsing 20 since the Lost and Next-Gen have been utterly useless in slowing Ralph and Nolan. Medvedev has been closest but it's still not enough.
Or maybe this is for 2024 prep for Olympics in Paris?

Legend Federer
The legend of straight set losses on clay. At least Fred is no longer cowardly trying to limit the head-to-head gap between Rafa and him, but it is sad to see him so desperate to maintain his position. I suspect we will get more of the out of control Fred we saw in Shanghai hurling abuse and completely losing his composure as the end draws ever nearer.
