Good luck with that Shanghai masters prediction. Federer, Djokovic and Medvedev say hi.

I have got Medvedev as the winner on my draw challenge but thats just to be safe, I think thiem will win if he does not have to play Djokovic.

Thiem - Tsitsipas should be a nice final to watch. Battle of one handed backhands. Great for both guys to be in the final again.

edit:
Kachanov losing a good lead is not a first time happening. He should do something about this.

Yup. It was a pathetic loss and should've been over 6-2 6-3 routinely.

 

[herios]

Nervy start from both Domi and Stefanos, resulting in exchange of breaks, but after that they started to play better and better.
Now, on serve, it is a good natch.

 

[herios]

Stefanos wins the first set.

 

[mrzz]

Most talented player wins.

 

[the AntiPusher]

thiem won get over it just like I said he would he going win the final too and Shanghai masters he's a much better player than the players in the other semi finals.

Thiem will be the one when the big 3 plus Andy and Stan retire..

 

[Andy22]

now we have nadal,djokovic thiem all with 4 titles for the season

 

[Front242]

Thiem has been pretty damn poor at every slam besides RG and 1 USO 1/4 final. He's very good on clay but that's about it. Poor to average at best elsewhere. Wouldn't bank on him being anywhere near as dominant as Medvedev personally. He takes way too long on those huge back strokes on surfaces that aren't slow. If Khachanov wasn't totally inconsistent Thiem would've lost pretty routinely 6-2 6-3 yesterday.

wow your big thiem hater thats really clear thiem been really good on hard courts outside the grand slams this season but of course hes sucked in the slams off clay, but Medvedev is really just a hard court player as well all his titles on one surface at least thiem titles on 2/3 surfaces that's more compete player. keep writeing dumb posts its funny.

Dumb posts really? Check Thiem's slam results except clay and 1 USO 1/4 final as I said. I don't actually hate the guy at all and quite like watching him play but it's a fact he takes way too long on his backswing and gets pummeled on faster surfaces by guys who rush him. As I said, if Khachanov wasn't totally inconsistent we wouldn't even be discussing this as Thiem would have lost yesterday.

I do know thiem sucked in majors outside roland garros by the way, but anyway you say you like him so why not say congratulations instead pointing out matches thiem should have lost? it makes you sound like a hater even if you think your not.

And in straight sets today too. (I just finished watching. I had to DVR it since it was the middle of the night for me.)

Why would I say congratulations? He's hardly reading. Almost as stupid as when fans congratulate each other when their favourite player wins. I was pointing out to you he should have lost yesterday cos he's nowhere near as good as you make out. He was getting pummeled by Khachanov who has a big serve and only needed to hold serve yesterday and it would've been over in a flash 6-2 6-3 as it should have been.

Ya, but Fed is not playing here.

do you think thiem can go deep in Shanghai? like to know how wrong you are again[ AO19]

Well he's not winning it like you claimed. He could've lost today too in 2 sets. What the hell is that supposed to mean regarding AO 2019? Incidentally, the mighty Thiem lost there in the 2nd round.

you forget that you said RBA was going to easily beat tsitsipas at AO19] but whatever not the only time your wrong it happens every time you post lol, you also said nadal will not win us open this year which he did.

Tsitsipas barely won in 4 extremely close sets you ghoul bag. Don't believe I ever said Nadal wouldn't win the USO 2019 btw. Deep down though, even though you won't admit in here in public, I doubt you were anywhere near as confident he'd win it till Federer and Djokovic both got injured. And I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to waste my time replying to your drivel. Do you even read your posts? Thiem has a better game style than Federer? The whole forum were pissing themselves reading that.

 

[brokenshoelace]

And I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to waste my time replying to your drivel.

So are all of us.
