great and unexpected for big John

 

[the AntiPusher]

What is sure, a tall guy will be a finalist, among Big John, Marin, Sasha or Milos

Sasha and big John would be my picks

 

[isabelle]

hard fight between Milos and Sasha

hard fight between Milos and Sasha

Once upon a time. Sascha breadsticks Milos in the second to book his semi-final berth. Happy days.

Good quality feed man. Watching it now.

Domi has learned a thing or 2 about Rafa these last 2 losses. Jumps out to a double break in the opener 5-1

 

[britbox]

Never seen Thiem quite this aggressive before... and right now he's redlining. 5-1 up in the first. Not sure how long he can keep this level up, but it's great to watch.

 

[britbox]

Good stuff by Rafa... pulls back to 4-5. Pressure back on Thiem to serve out the first set.

 

[britbox]

Domi grabs the opening stanza 6-4.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Rafa may turn this around..Thiem is playing Federerous style of tennis plus Rafa dropping too many balls too short. I think rafa will try to be more aggressively and a few more drop shots..

It seems that Rafa has reacted too late in the first

I'm thinking Thiem will be hard pressed to keep that level up for more than a set. Second set will be interesting.

It will be interesting if Rafa can raise his game and if Thiem can stay at this level playing this aggressively

Seems like you and i r on the same mind set

Really. It was Thiem that took it to Rafa..this is what i said about how well Dominic played at Madrid which El dude whined that i was tryin to dis the Beloved one..Thiem is very dangerous in the best of 3 set format

 

[the AntiPusher]

How does Thiem keep returning Rafa's overhead smashes..rafa has made a mess of his service games

 

[britbox]

Huge hold for Rafa. I'll have to watch the highlights tomorrow for the remainder as it's time to hit the sack.

Domi grabs the break in the 2nd. He's sending Nadal to RG early.
