Indian Wells, BNP Paribas Open, Masters 1000

Roger played pretty well in large patches. The slightly missed cross court forehand to go up love forty likely was it—he probably would have won if he got there. Dominic was fabulous all match long. He fought hard and deserved the win.

^ This.

Let me go look at the "up to the moment" rankings! Dom and Roger should have changed places with Thiem going to #4 and Fed #5!

Congrats Dominic.

 

[tennisville]

happy that Thiem won though, lets hope he wins in Roland Garros as well

Yes, Roger drops 1 spot, bring passed by Domi

 

[Moxie]

He certainly wasn't any good was he? You don't lose to that clay courter with a 50 second backswing if you take care of bizz

This is you making Thiem a clay courter, and deciding that Roger was by far the man to beat. Wake up and smell the flowers. Thiem played better, and he won.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

So Roger only lost because he was crap?

Roger played much better today than in Wimby 2008.

No bitching unlike a certain fanbase of a twat with a limp knee.

Rafa's knee flared up..I was the first to say he would withdrawn from any more hc matches..nah Bro .no bitchin here..wait til Front hears of to this loss .. BTW Thiem is gonna emerge out of the 2tier..it's a quality loss by Roger just as Delpo was last year's final

As you saw, Thiem finally exposed Roger's weaknesses after all other players on tour failed.

I have not seen someone crush the ball with so much power and off both wings, since JMDP in 2009 USO.

But the court is slow. Fed can't do much. Not if he shanks that much.

Indeed, that's me who is ridiculously wrong here. I got confused because this late WO was listed under H2H "Event breakdown" list as if it did count because it's not it marked as "non-countable' in any way. Very confusing. I didn't bother counting the number of entries in the long list hence I fell victim of the confusion. There are indeed 39 entries in the list, while the score is 15-23 as if there were 38 entries only.
I obviously apologise & I have removed my post.

All good,

Safe to say Roger Federer is done now

someone (fiero) actually likes that Federer is done? IMO totally undeserved hatred for a champ who is clearly in his twilight year.

Federer has won this tournament 5 times. It's not the court. Dominic beat him.

Agreed.

Trust me. One of these minons are gonna blame Rafa's WD as for Roger's loss...

R u saying that the court has gotten slowed over the past week..give me a break

Now talk about some anti-jinx. Also, I guess it is not possible to get more wrong than I got in this post:

The funny thing is that I am the one always saying that tennis is unpredictable...

Not.. let's don't get besides ourselves.. although Dominic will one day own RG

with generous help from the old man. Look Dominic was awesome. But he should be happy he was playing Federer at 0-30 in the third set. Nadal, even with a limp, takes it from there.

It didn't change the draw; just filled in a LL! It isn't like a few yrs ago when Murray WD from the FO which changed the seedings! Nole had to play Rafa in the SF instead of the final which may or may not have made a difference in 2013! Ferrer made it easy for Rafa! :whistle:
