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

[Sundaymorningguy]

He can’t even worry about return now. He has to worry about serving well.

I agree, but the thing about Zverev's game is that when he is on, his serve is untouchable. Thiem has to fight his own service games. I still think Thiem has a chance but he has to win free points on his serve.

Zverev is playing great, and it is hard imagining Thiem turning this around. But if he breaks Zverev he can get into his head a bit, and we don't know how Zverev will respond as he hasn't really been challenged in this match yet. But the hill is steep (and as I write this, Thiem just went down 0-30 on his serve. Uh-oh).

Sasha with 2 BPs he has been great on returns of Theim's serve

Zverev definitely came into this match in the zone. I can't remember the last time I saw him play so well.

 

[El Dude]

Terrible error by Thiem.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Stop overplaying Theim on the volley

 

[AnonymousFan]

Ouch lol

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sasha breaks.....Theim is running out of time

 

[El Dude]

Winning this match will be huge for Zverev's confidence - he'll be a legit contender at every Slam.

Thiem is done. Unless Zverev gets nervous closing this out. Thiem doesn’t have a shot with his sloppy play.

He played well in those masters he won.

Zverev definitely came into this match in the zone. I can't remember the last time I saw him play so well.

And in his first major final, no less.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Maybe Theim peaked at the wrong time,against Med

Now the hardest part for Zverev, keep that break until the end.

 

[Moxie]

He played well in those masters he won.

I'm not saying he's never played great...I'm a fan. I'm just trying to remember the last time. Maybe when he won the YEC?

 

[tented]

Ken Doll can’t stop talking. It’s relentless.

Maybe Theim peaked at the wrong time,against Med

I'd still argue he hasn't peaked at the USO series. I think that match was more about Medvedev playing poorly.

I understand and that's the last time. He was ripping the ball in the clay master and at the ATP final.

Why didn't Thiem come in on that second serve?
