2019 Roland Garros Semifinal: Djokovic vs. Thiem

[Bonaca]

Oh boy, there is hope for tomorrow!!!!

I imagine Rafa sitting on the couch right now watching the match on tv and talking to Carlos Moya like this:

I don't care what Rafa does

 

[tented]

Going 5. Now they run the real risk of interfering with the women's final like last year at Wimby

I was just thinking the same thing. RG has already done some shady stuff to the women. Let’s hope they can play their final on time.

I don't know how you came up with that argument. Nadal had to complete his match in the worst conditions yesterday. Novak got a reprieve and is still not happy

They could have played at the same time for a start. Also it was shown that the wind speed had doubled during Djokovic's match when compared to previous match. So the weather was perfect for the tennis when comparing apples and apples

 

[tennisville]

If Novak wins this then that won't happen. If he wins today it's a also a disgrace as he knows damn well he would've most likely lost if they had played yesterday and they should have only for his hissy fit.

Did you see the reports, both players agreed to come today to play the match today after giving a choice. Do not blame it on Djokovic

 

[tented]

I don't care what Rafa does

You will tomorrow.

The guy sounds a bit like Diego Maradona, and he looks inebriated.

 

[herios]

You will tomorrow.

Different story

Got a link to those 'cos no I didn't and it seems unlikely that Thiem would want to quit when ahead and knowing Djokovic was pissed off with the conditions and letting it get to him? When you're leading it's always better to continue and keep your momentum so I've a very hard time seeing Thiem wanted to stop.

 

[tennisville]

A quick finish and I hope the winner has something in the tank for tomorrow, the organizers really should postpone the match to Monday to make it somewhat more fair to these 2 players

Yeah but Thiem agreed as well, this was what was said in Eurosports, so despite that Thiem decided to come today as well. Dont blame it on Djokovic

The more nervous the match gets, the better for Djokovic. Thiem needs to make this a shootout. The more both feel the moment, more the match fall in Djokovic hands. He has simply much more composure.

Genious from Thiem to earn BP!

they're not going to do that. The weather is worse for Mon and if what you say is true, they both chose to play today

I don't know whether this works for you or not

Yeah but the organizers should have played the semis on the same time, we would not have the mess that we have right now then. They did it in 2016

 

[Denis]

Level is being raised by both players.

I'm more inclined to believe Thiem said "But it's a joke" just like after Serena Williams got him kicked out of his interview room.

 

[mrzz]

I don't remember a game were Thiem won the first point on his own serve.

 

[Denis]

I fully agree. They must have done it because Novak and Thiem had one day less rest, and this way they got a few more hours.
