Yikes. That was tight. One of the commentators mentioning that he thought the new balls actually hurt Thiem. Especially on the double fault. The other one (Brad Stine, former Courier coach) was just like, "I think the score, his opponent, the tournament" has affected him a lot. Lol. Which of course I agree with more. It'll be quite a tough one to lose for Thiem if Nadal goes on to eek out this set and take the match. That one will sting a long time.
Rafa's the first to 6.
Thiem will have to find another amazing tiebreak. After a hold of course. Probably a tough hold.
(Also. I'm aware my feed is behind.)
