ATP Final final: Thiem v. Tsitsipas

[Moxie]

OK, we haven't had a poll in a while, it's the end of the year, and the other thread is reduced to talking about Dolgopolov. Last match of the year...what say you?

 

[tented]

I’m going with Tsitsipas in 3.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am also going for the young Greek in 3 sets.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fitting - a final between two Fed beaters.

Make it a third person voting for Tits in three.

Annacone went with Stefanos in the TC recap today, and I voted for him in 3. Still, Dominic is more seasoned and sturdy. Tsitsipas is 21...the youngest guy in the draw. (Trivia question: who is the youngest guy to win the ATP final? I don't know the answer.) But Dominic has a big take-back on his swings, and Tsitsipas is aggressive. It'll probably come down to nerve.

I think someone said earlier on the Tennis Channel that it was Jim Courier, but I'm not positive.

Theim Team is on a roll.

The terminator in 3.

Turns out, he'd be the youngest since Hewitt, and the winner is McEnroe, at 19!

I was wondering that most of you goes with Greek.
My wish is they should both lose .

Beside kidding, it’s tough to call. Think it would bother me less if tsitsipussy wins.
But I’m afraid the second class German will.

Not sure with that bad cough he has! :whistle: o_O

Nobody cares but better if it's Thiem, a better human being than Sissypas.

Shame Fed's not in the final even after beating fakervic and no Nadull in the SF.

I watched the McEnroe match he played against Arthur Ashe! It was a wonder Ashe got to the final much less was a point from winning! He had an opportunity or 2 to win, but hit a weak lob or 2 too many up a break & allowed John to come back to win in 3 sets! :whistle:

 

[Andy22]

thiem to win in 3 close sets

Ashe’s “excuse” was that he was a creaking 35 years old to Mac’s 19 baby years... they had to wheel him onto the court in a wheel chair ...B-)

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

someone in 2 or 3 sets. maybe one of the finalists will win.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Dominator should take this..

 

[Nadalfan2013]

I prefer Thiem, he's a true class act.

 

[atttomole]

Tsitsipas.

 

[Andy22]

I like both players but thiem is more humble than tsitsipas.

 

[Bonaca]

Tsitsipussy looks better so far. Better serve and stronger in rallies. Takes time from Austria and makes him running like a chicken left and right.
