Aww, look at my future favorite making life miserable for my current favorite...

Thiem has become a current favorite for me. I really like his heart. He hasn't figured it all out yet, but he's making huge strides this year. I like the way he plays on grass too.

Like both players, but will root for the youngster and also think he wins... may take 3. Who have you got?

Saint Dominic

I give more credit to Vesely taken out Novak in Monte Carlo been this last one in his best form than Thiem to Roger in his worst

 

[Moxie]

Just about everyone likes Phillip Kohlschreiber as a player, and he's had a lot of success on grass in the home country. I have to pull for the up-and-comer, though. If he does it, I think it'll be in 3.

 

[EdbergsGhost]

I like both these guys and will be happy no matter who wins.

The final will be completed Monday after the heavy rain.
Tied at 6-6.

 

[Moxie]

6-6? What a time to sleep on it. Young Thiem is getting a lot of tennis life lessons this year. Let's see how they both come out for the TB.

 

[Carol]

I hope Thiem wins and it would help him to play well in Wimbledon and could be a tough opponent for everyone. It's time for some of the 'young guns' to do something exciting, otherwise we will have to wait until.....:scratch:

Time for the doubters to start believing in young Thiem!

 

[herios]

Domi won: 6-7, 6-4, 6-4.
He now has won on all surfaces, serious breakthrough season.
But I hope he slows down the pace, 30 events / year is insane.
