Didn't watch the last set. Looks like Med still has a long way to go. He had a very strong run last year, reaching 6 finals in a row, but after that he probably became overconfident in himself.
 
Clutchminic showed up, won the last 2 sets from a break down and won two close tie-breaks. This reminded me a bit of the WTF match where medvedev lost to nadal, he simply couldn't take his chances. Overall, disappointing match, expected a more intense battle, this tournament lacked a truly great match so far, but credit to thiem he has been ruthless so far, playing like a grand slam champion.
Thiem from a "ball basher" became a complete and well balanced player, he is one of the top players for the last few years and he is due to win his first slam, lets see if he can beat zverev.

I went to sleep when Tim was a break down in the third. Glad to see he pulled through and once again came back from a break to win it. Good work.

throw out 2016. Fed barely beat Zed once since Rogers Cup. Not the prettiest picture against pre-prime Zed;)

That win over Fedr at WTF18 was a great win! And the finals after? :eek:

Those groundstrokes, those consistent 135-140+ mph serves. I want that Zedzilla back. I thought it will be his fookin time come 2019. :mad:

It isn't so easy. Zverev is being underrated here, as always. I wouldn't say Thiem is a lock against him.

Thing with Zverev is he seems to be finding a way to bring his opponents down to his level in a way - Thiem could blast through him but I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with a tense, lower quality 4 setter or something like that.

He’s a definite lump of coal in the diamond age crown.:sneaky: I tried to warn TTW of the impending doom (Zedzilla fully realized), but at least Fortune seems to has favored the ignorance here.;)

Indeed. Hope his work with Tennis Channel picks back up though, would be cool to see him on live TV:)
@Sparlingo a huge fan as well. My three favorite youtubers:
Don’t be fooled by the monotone, a real straight shooter who is WTA focused , @Aussie Darcy ;)
The above, aka sycophant central is amazing and made for TTW, confirmation Gill one too, but he is amending his ways and really this fine group covers much more
The above Fraudulent Central, but an amazing troll and Djoko incident recap hilarious and so much more
