Saw Thiem’s IG post. Looks reasonably competent left-handed. Could he beat a 5.0?https://www.instagram.com/reel/CRjxV69lI8e/?utm_medium=copy_link
i thought thiem with his right hand was 4.5 at best?

So a 67-yr old Evert can beat 5.0s but Thiem can’t??!!My guess would have been No but after watching his IG post, I believe that DT would prevail in the long run. But I'd have to see his serve before I could say for sure.
Did Chrissy actually do this?So a 67-yr old Evert can beat 5.0s but Thiem can’t??!!
Tankerer? Pretty sure he could do much betterIf DT serves left-handed like this, it might be very tough to best a 5.0 guy

@Curious we have an opponent for you! Thiem left handed vs you!!!!! How many games can you win??Saw Thiem’s IG post. Looks reasonably competent left-handed. Could he beat a 5.0?https://www.instagram.com/reel/CRjxV69lI8e/?utm_medium=copy_link
If he practiced it, I'm certain he could. But no reason to believe that he could do any better than this w/o working on it at all.Tankerer? Pretty sure he could do much better
I would imagine he could beat a 4.0 for sure just from his court coverage and footwork alone.
According to the official rating system, he is at least a 5.0, thanks to his friend Zverev
I’m 4.0 and he would annihilate me for that and could play net on every pointI would imagine he could beat a 4.0 for sure just from his court coverage and footwork alone.

His Fh volley looks decent in the IG post. Would have to see more of his Bh volley but, because he hits a pretty decent one-handed left Bh g'stroke, I would imagine he could master the Bh volley in no time.I don't trust his volleys and overheads with the left hand though.
Yea, they’re such great buddies that Zverev decided that he didn’t want USO 2019, and he’d rather give it to TimIs it because he is friends with Zverev he goes up to 5.0? I plan on hanging around him at Indian Wells then.

Comedy gold. Can't wait for your channeling & parody of T Daniels, J Speeed or even S Anomaly.He is using an unknown serving technique. Need to view from behind in bright sunlight with minimal motion blur to see shadows which determine ISR
He should stop serving immediately until his technique is known. Search forum Chas Ellenbacker to understand risk of impingement on serve. Do not know if this applies to unknown techniques?
He should study joint kinematics with high speed video. Long axis rotation. Forest fires. What are cardinal planes? System malfunctioning…
They are better than mine I betI don't trust his volleys and overheads with the left hand though.
Thiem looks like a typical 3.0 when playing left handed
My volleys basically are 2.5
Except that he would absolutely obliterate a 3.0 in anticipation, court coverage, tennis IQ, etc.Thiem looks like a typical 3.0 when playing left handed
Only saw one brief example of DT's Bh volley. However, his Fh volley could easily be higher than a 4.0 level. Not only does he hit it cleanly, with decent mechanics, his movement into the shot is waaay better than a 3.5/4.0 playerMy volleys basically are 2.5

This video sums up perfectly the difference between knowing how to hit a ball and actually being able to do itIf DT serves left-handed like this, it might be very tough to best a 5.0 guy
