2019 Roland Garros Semifinal: Djokovic vs. Thiem

[Bonaca]

I had to go out during the 2nd. Is this the 3rd rain delay?

No the second.

Djokovic could be saved by the rains again. Is he able to talk to Vajda during the break?

Yes.

They said play won’t resume until at least 6:05 PM local time.

 

[tented]

My Weather Channel app says 80% chance of rain in Paris until at least 8 PM local time.

 

[Denis]

I think this will resume tomorrow.

 

[Denis]

Thiem was playing great before the interruption by the way.

 

[tented]

I think this will resume tomorrow.

I hope not, but it’s looking like it might.

 

[Denis]

Tomorrow should be a little better, still quite some wind. I think they will be able to play mostly on Sunday, less wind but cool and cloudy conditions.

I think they'll squeeze some more in, but 8pm would mean it will go into tomorrow. Another thing to remember is that 9:30-9:45 is the latest they can play IF it's a sunny day. If it's not, it'll get dark earlier.

In my view better to then just play tomorrow instead of endless hanging around in the locker room.

I don't have a good feeling about this match. Thiem looks good and Novak not so....

They won't call it a day unless it's pouring rain at like 8pm. Anytime before that, they will make them hang around until the rain stops

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Why do you keep calling Thiem "German?" (I suppose you can refer to him as a "bastard" if you want to.)

So, "bastard" is ok, but "peasant" is not? :scratch:

I agree. And I'd think it's better for both that the more they get in today, the less they have to play the day before the final. Or, anyway, it's better for the eventual winner.

Me too. Thiem is playing what he is capable of, his highest level. It’s all about Novak, unfortunately he shows, looking overall so far, his B game.

ok, thanks for the info. ill hang around too.

Its remniscent of the Wawrinka final, though Stan played lights out there.

There is even some timid glimpses of sunlight in the stands. Come on!

I actually said in another post that "bastard" is probably not any more accurate than "peasant." I don't like either, personally. I've never said anyone can't call Rafa a "peasant," but I will express much objection to why it's wrong. You Fed fans can be incredibly insulting, you know.
