Thiem into the final!

Yay! Go Domi...

Well, they got a good match, anyway. Very good Thiem. He seems Bach, as JLLB would say.

 

[Federberg]

solid play from Thiem. Seems to progress every year. Not as quick as we might want, but we have to call it progress. Should be a shot making delight tomorrow

Great win by Thiem, just because a few weeks ago I wrote he was not playing well enough not even to reach a clay masters semi. I still don't think he is playing that well, but... you don't get to MS final for nothing (but he had a good draw and a walkover).

 

[Moxie]

2 single-handers tomorrow. Still waiting for my monkey-skull, @mrzz.

 

[El Dude]

He's on the right trajectory to peak for clay season, but I don't see him standing much of a chance against Roger tomorrow.

not if he stands back that much on the return. He'll be fish bait if he does that

 

[Andy22]

First big hard court final for thiem, hope he beats federer, Thiem can handle federer if he at his best level and federer a little off.

Look inside your heart and you will know where to look for it. (hint: it is not on your mail box)

 

[mrzz]

Whatever result tomorrow I am happy but still rooting for Federer as you can't shake old habits. Anyway I would guess something like 6x2 6x2 for the old master.

 

[kskate2]

I think it will be closer than that. @mrzz
Maybe 7-5 6-4

I would give Thiem one more game. 6-3, 6-2.

Thiem into the final!

Good..I have a feeling that Darth and Front are gonna be bitchin late Sunday evening..Go Dominic

 

[GameSetAndMath]

What time is the final. I assume ladies go first and so it will be around 5 p.m. EDT

 

[tented]

Haas/McEnroe v. Sampras/Djokovic doubles right now.
Chair umpire: Jon Lovitz.

Congrats Thiem. I hope Roger got a good training session in today. A break is good at his age, but so is consistency.
Rooting for my guy tomorrow but Thiem has a realistic chance. I mean, the guy beat Roger on grass, where Roger really takes time away from you. Hoping for a good match tomorrow and hoping to be able to watch it.

That Grass win was when Roger was coming after a long break. Would not read much into that.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Federer is 11-3 against Raonic, and 2-2 against Thiem.

Fed vs. Thiem hard court H2H is 2-0.
