Ciao, Thiem. 2021 really was not your time. Still, you got your slam. Enjoy life.

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Can't defend his pet Slam. Weakest era of all time.

 

[accidental]

Was looking forward to another backhand slice/double faultathon between him and Zverev

 

[Nadal_Django]

Terrible news.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Defending champ out of the USO. Real shame. The injuries just keep coming

Hope he recovers soon.

 

[flex]

Scary. Injured his wrist from hitting one mistimed ball.
Could have happened to anyone, pros, juniors, rec players. The wrist is such a fragile part but crucial to tennis and most sports in general

 

[Checkmate]

Thiem 2022 DCYGS incoming. Heal well champ!

 

[Lleytonstation]

Can't defend his pet Slam. Weakest era of all time.

Already knew that. Didnt need a Panchoist to tell me that.

 

[The Fedfather]

What is this season? It's survival of the fittest now and we're not even that close to the USO yet.

Swift recovery to Thiem! Hopefully, the appropriate time for rehab will be enough to heal his injury without long-term effects.

2021 is the worst tennis year for me. Goodbye TTW till 2022. Might tune in if Med makes USO F.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

 

[Hitman]

Players dropping one after the next. Hopefully Thiem is back fully fit in Australia.

 

[Gonzo_style]

Great news for Nadal

 

[Backspin1183]

Great news for Nadal

Nadal is likely to skip US Open himself as he may need more time to heal his injured foot.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Odd that he hasnt made it official.

 

[Gonzo_style]

Possible. Still, 2/4 Nadal's USO titles came when defending champion wasnt in the draw.

 

[The Blond Blur]

 

[Third Serve]

Well that sucks... hopefully, he’ll come back stronger next year.

Time to be a Nadal fan till 2022 I suppose.

 

[The Blond Blur]

Odd that he hasnt made it official.

Probably trying to hold off as long as possible. I don’t see him playing, but I think he’s trying his darnedest to make it in time.

 

[yokied]

They expect to see one of us in the wreckage brother…

The PCB also rises.

 

[tsurismo5]

Win the uso once at the beginning of a promising career, develop wrist issues. Thiem is the new del potro.

 

[weakera]

Both defending USO Champions out in Nadal and Thiem?

 

[I Am Finnish]

He will come back strong next year

 

[Sephiroth]

End this sport.

Might as well have Djokovic play against himself

[Sephiroth]

What's the point of tennis tbh

 

[tennisintheeighties]

He should switch for a more flexible racquet and nat gut on mains

Not quite. Delpo's was a rise. Thiem's was simply finally winning a slam after his previous efforts in his late prime years.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

If the squirrel isn’t having complete mental breakdowns he’s injuring body parts and he’s only in his 20s still May be time to call it a day and take up knitting

 

[mike danny]

Heal, Dominic, wish you all the best.

Somehow tennis hasn't been the same without yiu as the Next Gen have all flunked and haven't peoven as big of a threat as you.

 

[junior74]

10+ slams in any other era, if he played.

 

[Sudacafan]

2021 is the worst tennis year for me. Goodbye TTW till 2022. Might tune in if Med makes USO F.

Starting in 2019, each passing year has been worse for me, and this doesn’t seem to end any soon.
The good thing for me is that I learned to live with the constant frustration, and that I’m not complaining anymore about it.

 

[Visionary]

Very sad news. I knew he couldn't switch into a lefty although he tried but I hoped he'd recover for the USO this year. He really kicked some arse there last year. Now, Zverev can be happy...well till he gets to play Tsitsi or Daniil.

 

[MeatTornado]

Very predictable once he hurt it in Mallorca. I was real nervous about him coming back too soon and trying to play through for no reason when he's not in good enough form to win the tourny anyway.

See you in three weeks

More pros need to be playing with softer racquets and NG or atleast low tensions like Sock

Alcaraz just had a prp injection on his elbow with a similar setup ( pure aero vs and babolat rpm / similar tension ), definitely not the most arm friendly setup

 

[El_Yotamo]

2021, the worst tennis year of the OE

2020 was worse

 

[PilotPete]

Bagdhanominch looking pretty good these days.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Only end of Novak wins USopen. Let him have his CYGS then bin tennis..

Scary. Injured his wrist from hitting one mistimed ball.
Could have happened to anyone, pros, juniors, rec players. The wrist is such a fragile part but crucial to tennis and most sports in general

I got some pain hitting a one-handed back hand far too late. Feels OK now but it made me think about which balls to bother with and which to let go.

 

[El_Yotamo]

2020 was worse

It depends how you look at it, 2020 was more depressing with the early pandemic and no crowds anywhere, while 2021 has mainly had a lower level especially at the slam level imo. One thing I have enjoyed in 2021 is the variety at the masters events but that's not enough to counteract the negativity for me

Was it a return of a cannonball serve? Wrist hyper-extension?

I'm not sure. I think I read it from one of Thiems social media (maybe IG)

 

[NoleFam]

This really sucks, and I was so looking forward to Thiem returning and defending his title.

 

[Raul_SJ]

Thiem and Zverev played a very ugly final. Have to believe our Djoker would have demolished either of them if not for the unfortunate accident with melodramatic linesman.
