I think it's important for Thiem not to get too down on himself after today, and for people not to be overly harsh on him. This is literally the worst case scenario for you to be in your first major final

I mean, even the sun is out, and the conditions are now also on Rafa's side. Not that he needed it.

Thiem really struggling on his backhand side with Rafa's high balls though. It's almost like Gasquet

They could amputate both arms and legs and he won't lose this from two sets and a break up

Because he reads this forum and he knows that people will call this tournament a joke. ;)
