Thiem Winning Wimbledon

[Maestroesque]

Who is Dimitrough?

Peakitrough sounds way cooler.

 

[Meles]

I have told you time and again even Thiem won't count those two as wins coming against a broken knee Fed who wanted to test the waters, so to speak

Don't deny you wouldn't mind Fed getting revenge over Thiem at Wimby TA. Excuserer revenge part 2 will be in the QF with Zverev or Raonic.

Will you stop predicting if Fed does face and beats Thiem?

Who is Dimitrough?

Dimitrov. His game went away for quite a while after cracking the top 10 with his grass runs in 2014. If their is one player who is a worse choker on tour than Berdych of late it is Dimi. Great start to the year making Auz SF and taking Nadal to 5 and looks to be back on track at Wimby.

No. What is the fun of just assuming it will be the same old, same old over and over again?

I'm looking forward to every Federer match from here on in.

Thiem loves fast clay and beat Nadal badly in Rome on it so what is going to stop him on Wimbledon dirt?

More adept baseliners..

Berdbrain is 19th in the race to Thiem at 3 (seems a bit unlikely)

I wouldn't count Berdych out just yet.

Nole in the QF is the biggest obstacle, but Thiem just smoke him on the dirt at RG. Djokovic's return and ability to take time away from Thiem will be deciding factors. If Thiem tips one of these (serving well) then this match will be a close one.

And he got smoked by Nadal..

Federer isn't losing to Thiem at Wimbledon, especially in a SF. Raonic wouldn't be the hardest, his form isn't that impressive this year. Dimitrov would probably win too, but I doubt he makes it past Fed.

Nadal/Murray/Cilic/Querrey - if it's a big 4 member Thiem is in business once again with recent wins over both of them. Nadal vs Thiem would be something else.

Murray would beat Thiem. Cilic would too. Querrey, either way if both are in top form.

Buzz kill. At least you didn't go hardcore and rule out the SF. When Thiem gets on a roll lookout.

The Federermania is a bit much; he's far from proven that he's going to win Wimbledon again. Why?
1. He always wins Halle; that is largely meaningless
2. His return game was declined for a reason on grass; he's well past his speed prime
3. His entire improved return game hinges on the new backhand; if that blows up then he's past primerer

I still say Fed is/was a huge threat on hard courts Auz and US Open. He's doing great and everything is on track, but still bottom line he is a very weak favorite at Wimby. I'm just not wholly sold that his return game can come back from the ash heap on grass.

If Thiem gets rolling and wins one big match against Djoko (a massive hurdle in my mind where Djokovic could do a minor version of the Rome mauling easily enough), the next big step for him will be to win two big matches in a row. I like his chances in that situation as grass is the least strenuous surface. Thiem has got matchups he can handle into the final. If a servebot ends up in the final like Cilic then Thiem probably goes down.

Thiemerer can be an awesome thing on grass.

I dont count the 2 losses to Thiem and one to Zverev. Really they are the weakest of wins - it is same as retirement without playing a match.

So, there is no revenge as far as Thiem-Fed is concerned.

Extremerer Excuserer. So Thiemerer and Zed must get revenge for these poisoned wins; I see the logic.

Well at least Thiem was the last person to play Federer on clay.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Thiem beat him the last two times he played Roggy and he's greatly improved. We must have this match again at Wimby.

Meles, let's get real here-- Thiem has about a .02% chance to make it to the semis. And if Federer makes it the semis, he would destroy Dom. You know this!

And as a Fed fan, I fervently pray he faces Thiem instead of Djoker in the semis, it would mean 90 minutes less time on court for him heading into the finals.

 

[The Green Mile]

We should never use matches against Simon as an indicator of form. Should be a golden rule.

Bring it on.

You Federeristas are a strange bunch. Handwringerering like crazy at Auz when I tell you Fed showing great signs and has a great draw. Now you are drunk with power propping up Federer on grass in the face of a brutal draw while knowing he's likely not fielding a prime return game despite the new backhand. If Thiem gets by Djoko, he'll be Fed's worst nightmare on dirt.

LOL. Did you think Thiem looked good in that match? Him letting that first set get away was inexcusable. Thiem does look to be grinding opponents out on grass, but that doesn't seem like something that would be a factor on grass.

I thought Simon got under his skin for a while, and Thiem really started to press early in points, shot selection letting him down. Midway through the 2nd is where it all changed. Simon gifting that break of serve, and the momentum drastically changing. Thiem started to serve better, and employ more slice which is effective against Simon's backhand when properly executed. Also changed direction more and employed more dtl, likely to do with confidence. Stepped into the court more, positioning more offensive minded. Simon mentally faltering played a part in the latter sets.

1. You Federeristas are a strange bunch.

Agreed.

2. Handwringerering like crazy at Auz when I tell you Fed showing great signs and has a great draw.

But he had he draw from hell and you know it.

3. Now you are drunk with power propping up Federer on grass in the face of a brutal draw

The only people propping up Fed on grass are the teenagers posting here, of which there is a plethora. Most discerning and long-term Fed fans are facing the sober realization that he doesn't defeat Djoker-Nadal back to back. As for the draw, the only people who think it isn't brutal are the delusional Nadal fans (repetitive phrase, I know).

4. If Thiem gets by Djoko, he'll be Fed's worst nightmare on dirt.

if Thiem does Fed and Fed fans a favor and defeats Djoker, Fed will destroy him in 75 minutes. You know this!

LOL on 2. I saw that draw and had him in the Auz final. Fed had to play a bunch of top ten players because of his low seeding.

Good job @Meles

Please pick your next. Eagerly waiting.

[H_Richardson]

Oh dear. He will lose to Berdy now, how embarrassing...

 

[metsman]

When Thiem and Dimitrough lose on Monday, will it be the most public yet of your many humiliations?

so...

A Meles prediction.

Thiem is toast!
