LOL. I figured that might catch the ire of you guys. Thiem is a developing player as is Pouille. I'm guardely optimistic that they will do something on the high bouncing North American hard courts. They've not done anything in previous years so my hopes are for really only some nice match wins and improved play. Next year will be the first year that both may make a big dent on that surface. Of courses you guys are a bit sensitive given Thiemerer's recent results with Fed.
Hopefully Fed will get his game up another notch and exact some revenge, but looking forward to their next match and I hope its on the hard courts soon.
Hope to see you all there. I'd like to see Thiem play matches with players in the top 10 other than Nadal, Fed, and Djoko. Murray and Wawa please.
More Fed gems please.
Any of the early Djokovic vs Federer US Open matches stand out? Its amazing to me how Federer had so much trouble with Murray early on and now the tables have been turned:

Those became some close odds.
Murray perplexes me greatly, but perhaps someone can enlighten on this rivalry.
