[backhandslapper]

wrong about TB again?

 

[Moxie]

For sure. He's dropped the odd set this way in Rome and to Goffin.

 

[backhandslapper]

it has been a long long time BB

 

[mrzz]

YES!

 

[tented]

One set all.

 

[mrzz]

What are people were saying? Sorry I could not hear it...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Congratulations Thiem on your first set against Ralph

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Now just win two more

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Ooo. Tough miss from Rafa. Close. Great play from Thiem to sort of force it. Just pulled it wide.

 

[tennisville]

On my god Thiem was crap the entire set and still won

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Thiem not showing the effects of fatigue from playing for the last 10 days in a row

 

[mrzz]

Actually Thiem played way better the first than the second, but I'll take it

 

[britbox]

I was going to go to bed if Nadal won the set. Now, I'll have to stay up.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

But, it may become a factor if this match goes to five sets

 

[tennisville]

Reminded me of Fed in Wimbledon 2014 3rd set or agaisnt Hass in 2009 RG 1st set where he served great all through the set and still lost

 

[shawnbm]

Are y'all kidding me? Thiem pulled out the second set?

 

[tennisville]

@GSM I think the fatigue showed this set, he was crap all through the set

 

[tennisville]

Nadal was just crap at the end

 

[tenisplayrla08]

So Thiem able to use the scoreboard to his advantage. As Rafa has done so often. Just asks the questions of Nadal one more time and after a long set Rafa misses the marks this time round.

Well at least make Nads work hard, will pay dividends to his creaky old grinding body later on in the year
