2017 Madrid :- Lost to nadal 6-7 4-6
2018 Madrid :- Lost to Zverev 4-6 4-6
2018 RG. :- Lost to Nadal 4-6 3-6 2-6
2019 IW. :- Defeated Federer 3-6 6-3 7-5
2019 RG. :- Lost to Nadal 3-6 7-5 6-1 6-1
2019 WTF. :- Lost to Tsitsipas 7-6 2-6 6-7
2020 AO. :- Lost to Djokovic 4-6 6-4 6-2 3-6 4-6
2020 USO. :- Defeated Zverev 2-6 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-6
2020 WTF. :- Lost to Medvedev 6-4 6-7 4-6
In those 7 losses, he has managed just to win 5 sets. Many of the finals were blowouts. Even though massu has improved his game largely since 2019, his record in big finals is still atrocious.
He needed a very unclutch roger and a choking zverev to win his 2 big titles.
What do you think about this??
His game certainly has a higher ceiling than Medvedev and Zverev, who both are 4-2 & 4-4 in big finals.
Is Thiem really underperforming in the big finals or does he have a bad luck??
