US Open 2020 final - Dominic Thiem[2] vs Alexander Zverev [5]

[TheNachoMan]

Thiem has to be the LEAST DESERVING grand slam champion in the HISTORY of Tennis.

Take a gander at this

Feels weird to have a new slam champion. I’m happy for Thiem.

 

[BeatlesFan]

YAY Thiem! That match about killed me, though. Who wanted to give it away more.....ugh it was pure torture!

True dat.

 

[G A S]

Some drama in the final ain't too bad, after all.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Poor Zed, lucky Thiem.

and damn Medvedev why you can't play like last year....

 

[MichaelNadal]

I literally can't believe Domi turned that around

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Thiem has to be the LEAST DESERVING grand slam champion in the HISTORY of Tennis. In terms of talent and game.

There are so many slamless players who are SO MUCH BETTER than Thiem.

But yeah, Big 3 are out and Thiem wins. It's a pity for all those talented players who never won a slam.

Would you tell that to his face?
He is not the biggest looser here...

 

[Fedalfan]

Awww....

 

[Hera]

Zed’s choke honoring Safina slam finals performance, at least hers were over quickly. Sad [emoji1475]

these guys make safin look like a mental giant

 

[counterloop]

Tennis fans have been spoiled by the greatness of Fedalvic. It's going to be an extremely long time before we witness that high consistent level of tennis on the men's tour again.

 

[FedrMatt]

Omg NO Zverev is crying

As if this couldn’t get any more cringe

 

[Mkiske]

If this final had a long tie break, it would surpass Isner x Mahut's record.

 

[MeatTornado]

Don't cry when I want to hate you, you jerk!

So rude to do this to me.

 

[The Green Mile]

Strange atmosphere with the tears and no crowd to applause

 

[StrongRule]

I will be very surprised if Zverev ever wins a slam now. This choke was CRAZY.

 

[Sorry_to_tell_you_mate]

Great to see the hug at the end. Some normalcy.

Are you kidding? They should get fined.

 

[Hitman]

Sacha...

 

[ibbi]

Tactful US Open presentation hosts, as always

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Thiem should buy Zed something nice, kinda feel bad for him

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

How long will it take for Zverev to recover from this??? I mean if you are going to lose a match from such a strong position throughout the match make sure the other guy earns it. Don’t even care about the DFs as long as there is intent on the serve but a 6’6 guy spinning 90-100mph even on the first serve when you are ahead in the match is gutless. Gawd!!!!

It’s so frustrating as it’s only mental his problem is now.
Im hoping Ferrer can help with that.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Damn, I actually feel sorry for Zverev.

 

[TennisFan3]

So sad Zverev crying his heart out in the acceptance speech.

 

[toby55555]

Only the second Austrian to win a GS, Muster 1995 the other.

 

[it slipped out of my hand]

Really got to feel for Sacha here

 

[mike danny]

Zverev mentally collapsed. What was he doing with his 1st serves. Just WTF.

Horrendous quality this match, but finally thiem wins his maiden slam. He deserves it.

I don't think either of them deserved it.

 

[EzekielTennis]

I feel bad for Zverev, but he will have more chances. It took Thiem his fourth try to win.

Will Zverev have more chances? I feel like not having a crowd helped him go through the draw because it calmed him down. A crowd-less slam is probably not going to happen again.

 

[Ray Mercer]

It must take every ounce of strength inside of Zverev to not get up and punch Thiems teeth in for laughing in his face for 5 minutes.

 

[Subway Tennis]

That match unloaded more memes than I could poast in a lifetime.

i wont bring this up again, but this match thread is going at least 150 pages.

 

[megamind]

Are Zverev and Thiem the new Fedal? This is so cute

 

[SeeingDusk]

I feel bad for Zverev. Zverev in tears

 

[Deleted member 770618]

Has anyone checked on mini Zverev?

 

[TennisCJC]

I enjoyed the US Open this year. Weird men's final but I'll admit it was hard fought. Thiem is a deserving champion. Zverev fought hard. I didn't know if it would be a good tournament without fans but I enjoyed watching live tennis again and it had plenty of drama.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

i wont bring this up again, but this match thread is going at least 150 pages.

This match thread literally would have broken the website if there was no TB.

 

[-NN-]

I see this match getting a lot of bad press.

Well, I was riveted.

It's really only tennis which can create a narrative like the one we just witnessed.

 

[BlueB]

Wow.
Well done Thiem, coming back from huge deficit and taking this while cramping.
What a choke by Zverev...

Happens to me all the time

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Quality drama. Sadly we rarely got to see the best from both simultaneously.

Well deserved win for Thiem. Slow but nice progress in Slam finals from him. Lost in 3, then in 4, the in 5, now won in 5. Happy that he didn't allow NextGen to block him before he got a chance to win something without facing the Big 3. Top quality player and a nice, hardworking boy.

Gutted for Sascha. But his play from the first two sets went missing for the remainder of the match, and he didn't have a good serving day at all. So he'll have to improve a bit more. But at least he's finally experiencing the biggest Slam stages as well, and hopefully we see him win it soon too.

 

[megamind]

Man it must take every ounce inside of Zverev to not get up and punch Thiems teeth in for laughing in his face for 5 minutes.

His win reaction was hilarious

 

[tennis_pro]

Im sorry ABZ is stronger with me.

Shouldn't've played like a total wimp, it's all your fault.

 

[heftylefty]

Thieminator tries to limp toward the trophy

But it will a Madrid final redux

And he'll be on suicide watch after losing 4 slam finals

This aged poorly.

 

[plum556]

Oh man. Zverev got me crying now.

 

[racquetreligion]

Z would of preferred intentionally hitting a ball
at his team mates and defaulted

 

[StrongRule]

I don't think either of them deserved it.

This win couldn't be more ugly. Thiem actually impressed more in his first 3 slam finals.

 

[Fed881981]

This ceremony looks so sad.

 

[King No1e]

ABZ brigade is cancelled. Zverev put up a heroic fight. Maybe we can start respecting him now

 

[Hitman]

Thiem, buy Zverev dinner.

 

[merwy]

Are you kidding? They should get fined.

Your profile picture fits that comment very well

 

[TennisFan3]

It must take every ounce of strength inside of Zverev to not get up and punch Thiems teeth in for laughing in his face for 5 minutes.

That was completely CLASSLESS from Thiem. Lack of humanity and sportsmanship. Most importantly class.
He barely squeezed the match with a LOT of luck. But he couldn't stop laughing at Zverev's face. Total lack of consideration.
Can't wait for Thiem's next choke in a slam final.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Remember at the AO this year, Zverev won the first set 6-3, but Thiem went on to win it in four.

Oh thee of little faith...
