Thiem is playing nowhere near his best.
The best he can under these conditions and mental pressure. He will be eaten alive from bull and a peak Novak. Kudos to him, he is a very good player. Nothing more.

It could be because they haven’t officially begun broadcasting it yet, since it’s not time. Or are you having problems with the app itself?

I'd still give Nole some chance against evil tomorrow but Thiem has none. For all the talk of how good he is on clay he literally has no big results to show for it (RG or MS titles)

Not the way Nole's been playing yesterday and today. He's got the Nole slam on his mind and it's rattling him.

Peak Novak? Unfortunately, he doesn't have a time machine to be able to go back to 2011 and hop in a big man sized boiled egg right now.

That is what I’m talking about for days. He has the weapons, stamina and game plan to beat bull, even here in Paris. Thiem is totally worthless in this aspect.

2015 or 2016 or early 2019 absolutely enough man. You are kidding me, aren’t you? You really want bull to win that easy?

The only time he ever did was when Rafa was losing to everyone's Gramma in 2015, and he's tried a lot.

What if the winner of this match simply protests and says I'm not playing tomorrow? I guess he just gets disqualified and a ban from the tournament for next couple of years :-)2

I don't want Djokovic or Nadal to win but an atomic bomb is sadly not an option. :chainsaw:

And when it’s one of them? Which will you root for?

It'd probably have to be Djokovic even though the talk of him winning all 4 twice would make me want to puke given the weak competition for years now. I'd rather saw my nuts off with a rusty bread knife than ever root for Nadal so, yeah, that answers that.

Don't think so. Lots of rain expected for Mon. They really screwed themselves by not coming back last night. The sun was out when they decided to stop play

Monday morning seems ok but everyone would be at work so they won't do that.

It is a great Saturday morning watching Ninja warriors and crocodiles and elephants in Sri Lanka.

p.s. Finally main NBC had begun coverage.
