Didn't Tennys make a QF at AO before Thiem did, beating Thiem along the way?

Yeah I know Thiem wasn't as good on hc then. I just find this funny.
Yes. But he's also Tennys Sandgren, while Thiem is the WTF finalist, IW champ, and 2x Slam finalist.
Thiem this year is infinitely better than at the beginning of 2018.

I mean, he played better than Thiem did down the stretch. He started serving well again, I don't know that he did anything particularly remarkable like happened at Wimbledon. I think the most 'clutch' thing he did in the match was rush the net on break point down, but it was still Thiem's pass going wide that gave him the point.

Djoko is the GOAT in pressure situations. It’s amazing how he turned that around after getting battered in set 2 and 3. He’s an unbelievable champion, fighter and problem solver!

Gotta laugh at the way he toys with opponents, their fans, and his haters. So often seems like he’s going to lose but pretty much never does in the end lol
 
Thiem ain't no Millman or Sandgren

He ain't no Murray, Wawrinka, del Potro, Roddick, Hewitt, Cilic either - and if Thiem achieves more, which probably should happen, that won't retroactively make him better at this current moment in time. Don't see anyone except some staunch Fed devotees praising him eking out five-set wins over them, when you mention WB 09 F or AO 18 F most think 'choke' - but as soon as BOATOV1C takes five sets to beat Thiem, it's unbullievabelle mental epickness disregarding the actual match play.

Ironically it's also the first time he comes back from 1-2 in a GS final.
He has also lost a few GS finals after winning the 1st set (FO 2015 and 2016, USO2016)
The most frustrating one must still be USO2012 against Murray. And FO2013 (even if it was a SF)
So many matches he could have lost (and won) but also some frustrating defeats.
