When Nadal is down in a game, his plodding pace between points becomes glacial. Finally the time violation.

Big hold for Nadal... but a winnable game for Dominic. 3 of those 4 BPs were on his racquet.

Also noticed he's adjusting to try and protect the backhand... and on the ad court when receiving he's running around it and also basically offering Nadal the "Down the T".

 

[britbox]

Wow... massive kicker on the second serve and leathers that forehand winner. Like his mindset. Who dares wins.

 

[britbox]

Thiem made a statement in that game. Really good match to watch.

 

[britbox]

Break points for Thiem again.

Am I the only one to be bored with these guys always looking at their team and complaining each time they missed a point ? Paire, Murray and now Thiem...

 

[britbox]

Break Point No.7 in this game alone.

No, I get it too... Murray is the master of it though.

Thiem 1 of 13 on Break Points so far.

Thiem sounds like Roger with 1 of 13 on break points.

This game is incredible. Another deuce. A match in itself.

Wawrinka up 6-1 4-1 v Simon.

Thiem sounds like Roger with 1 of 13 on break points.

Don't remind me!

 

[britbox]

Another BP!

 

[Bert]

That passing shooooooooooooooot !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[britbox]

and then a great lob by Nadal to save another BP!

Incredible game.

 

[britbox]

Nadal holds. Wow.

 

[Bert]

What a match !! That's really great tennis. Give us more !!

 

[britbox]

Thiem holds under a bit of pressure. 5-5.

One thing about Thiem's failure to convert those break points... a bit of silver lining if you like, is that the errors have been positive - he's been trying to win the rally... he's overcooked a few shots but he's not waiting on Nadal to make an error.

 

[britbox]

Another Break Point for Thiem. Groundhog Day.

 

[Bert]

He did it agaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin !! I want the same backhand
