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

[tennisville]

int his set

 

[Bonaca]

He loses, that’s all what will be remembered of him.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Thiem's next adjustment needs to be to move in. Gotta get up on that baseline. Or at least closer.

 

[DarthFed]

Lol losing is losing. In 3,4, or 5 it is still embarrassing

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Nadal has adjusted to him being so far back.

 

[tented]

I’d say this is less embarrassing than, say, the 08 final.

 

[Fiero425]

True enough if Thiem goes down like this, all they'l remember is the loss and Nadal winning another FO!

 

[Bonaca]

Also Dominik knows that, at least now

 

[Bonaca]

Yes fiero, that’s all

All about perspective Tented. As a Fed fan I was more embarrassed by Wimbledon 08 and AO 09

Thiem may need a rain break, but the rains won't come today.

 

[Bonaca]

I know I’m boring, sorry I will stop soon, but it damn hurts . What better final would we have if Novak is the opponent. It will surely not be like Melbourne but a realistic chance to challenge the bull

 

[tented]

I get you, Darth. Surface expectations, etc.

 

[atttomole]

True Bonaca. It could have been a better match.

 

[mrzz]

there goes the last hope, I guess

 

[Front242]

Novak wasn't playing well all tournament so I dunno why people seem to think he'd have challenged Nadal more. Sure there wouldn't have been any 6-1 set but still.

 

[tented]

This is odd, mrzz: you’re watching the NBC stream, yet ahead of the broadcast. Usually it’s the opposite

 

[mrzz]

actually I wrote that after the deuce

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Nadal just absorbing the shots and making Thiem figure out a way past him and Thiem unable to find it yet.
