Domi better pray to the serve gods that he finds some consistency for the final. Djokovic will eat him alive if he shows up with anything less than set 4 serving.

Thiem is a physical specimen. The power on his shots is unbelievable and now he misses less. He is able to get to almost every shot, and also helped by the slow surface.

I like Djokovic out of the Big 3, but I want Thiem to take it. He has been knocking on a slam door, so I would love for him to take this. It would certainly make for a more interesting French Open.

Haha što to? Znaš onu: Čuvaj se brkate žene i ćos čovjeka. Ovaj mladić nema gustu bradu, sumljiv je:face-with-tears-of-joy:
I just tried google translate on that and it said this....

Haha what is it? You know the one: Beware of the confused woman and the chagrin of the man. This young man does not have a thick beard, he is suspicious

Is that anywhere close to what you said? :)

Sladje je ako je pobjeda u 5 setova u gustom mecu. Yeah Thiem is dangerous I should be careful what I wish for. But this match has 5 sets written over it.

The crucial moment for Thiem was that 5-4 game in the 3rd set. He was struggling to get easy points on his service games and he faced two set points. In those two break/set points, Thiem hit a backhand down the line winner and an inside in forehand winner. From then on, he never looked back.

I give credit to Zverev. He played well enough to force two tiebreakers. But in those two tiebreakers, he was too passive and Thiem took full advantage!

By the way, I think Thiem will be physically good for Sunday. He was able to conserve a lot of energy in the 4th set. The mental side is a different story.

Google struggling a bit. Confused should be "with mustache" and chagrin should be "the man who can't grow a beard"
