2020 US Open Men's Final: Alexander Zverev vs. Dominic Thiem

[Moxie]

Should this come to a TB, Thiem has never really found his serve, and that could be the difference. Except then there's Zverev's double-faultitis.

 

[Moxie]

Poor choices there from Alex.

 

[Moxie]

Drew the error there.

 

[El Dude]

Surprisingly, Thiem looks more exhausted. Zverev is slowed a bit but seems ok.

 

[Moxie]

This seems crazy, but I think Zverev has been the better returner of serve today.

 

[Moxie]

Except for that crap return.

 

[Jelenafan]

I need moonshine!!

 

[El Dude]

What a shot by Thiem.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Thank god he held!

 

[tented]

I cannot believe he held. Incredible.

 

[El Dude]

That was Rafa-esque.

 

[El Dude]

Zverev has a high chance of implosion here.

 

[Moxie]

Someone asked the question who would a loss impact the most negatively. I don't think either. Both are ready. Zverev will be even more hungry, and will have a taste of the big time. Thiem is already maxed out, and just waiting for his moment. Both will win Slams and be dangerous.

That was me, and I did reassess it. Now that they've both played well, I think it's neutral.

 

[El Dude]

Zverev's net play has been terrific.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sasha lucky at the net there

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Move Your Feet Sasha

 

[El Dude]

Whoops.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Now we will see what Thiem is made of

 

[tented]

Zverev has a high chance of implosion here.

We have a winner.

 

[Moxie]

Now Thiem serves for it. My nerves!
