He is the definitive alpha.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Yeah, I guess Fed's comebacks against Millman and Sandgren were evidence of epic clutchness too, lawl.

 

[King No1e]

He never knows when he's beaten. Only player since the GOAT Laver himself to win multiple Slams after being MP down.

Thiem ain't no Millman or Sandgren

 

[Lleytonstation]

Yeah, well, you know... But you have to...







fine.

 

[onyxrose81]

Comparing Thiem to Millman and Sandgren...I’ve seen it all.

Sandgren beat Thiem in this tournament 2 years ago....

 

[onyxrose81]

Sandgren beat Thiem in this tournament 2 years ago....

True but he’s still not at Thiem’s level.

 

[Milehigh5280]

Mamba mentality. Kobe would be proud of his friend

 

[KINGROGER]

Another mug slam handed to him via choking. King of weak victories and boring pong tennis.

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.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

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!

 

[tennisaddict]

I think he is the greatest clutch player . Sampras could be on par.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

True but he’s still not at Thiem’s level.

And Thiem is not on the level of Wawrinka or Murray, not even del Potro yet, but sure outclutching him is a sign of mental goatness. Stick to the Fedal beatings, at least those provide an actual serious argument.

 

[RelentlessAttack]

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

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

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.

 

[Sudacafan]

Comeback from 0-1 in GS final vs Tsonga,Nadal and Federer

Comeback from 2-4 in 5th set of GS final vs Nadal

Comeback from 0-1(2X) in sets vs Murray(GS Finals)

Saved 40-15 on Fed's serve in Final of Wimbledon

Won GS after saving match points in 1/2 Final

Comeback after losing 1-2 in sets in GS Final

Won GS after losing 0-2 in sets vs Anderson

He's sooo lucky.

 

[Tennisfan339]

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.
