2019 Roland Garros Men's Final: Rafael Nadal vs. Dominic Thiem

[don_fabio]

Dominator!!!!

 

[tennisville]

I am laughing really that the worst set Theim has played against Nadal at RG ended up getting him the set

 

[mrzz]

It is crazy. Not only Thiem played quite bellow the first set, he also spent way less energy

 

[shawnbm]

If Dominic came back after that long and tough first set loss, that tells me the young one may have more mettle than I gave him credit for.

 

[tennisville]

Puerta, Federer, Djokovic, Thiem the four men to take a set off Nadal in Roland Garros finals

 

[Moxie]

For sure. I thought he might lose heart and steam, but no.

And Wilander with the great take again. Thiem getting the reward of playing that high forehand deep into Nadal's backhand corner. Finding a pattern he can use.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Thiem just... he looks like he just is not going to go away. If he loses this set he'll keep fighting. He'll try to take it 5. Go deep if he has to. Playing the last 3 or 4 days straight may actually have helped him.

It'd probably be better for Thiem to serve second here imo

 

[backhandslapper]

my tip was Nadal in 5

 

[tennisville]

Its still Nadal;'s to lose

 

[tennisville]

This match just got slightly more interesting thats all

 

[tennisville]

Already 0-30 now

 

[britbox]

Puerta... that's a blast from the past. Got done for doping.

 

[Front242]

my point exactly. He would have been better off serving 2nd

 

[tented]

Sloppy errors here.

 

[Front242]

will lose the first game now like a complete tool

 

[Moxie]

It's like he's over-amped.

 

[backhandslapper]

gee, I look forward to Wimbledon

 

[Front242]

not even watching but I figured he'd go down 2-0 quick cos he's so predictable
