Roland Garros / French Open [Men] - Grand Slam

[Sundaymorningguy]

For me, Thiem’s serve is always the wildcard of his game. It can be so inconsistent.

It’s insane, it seems every service game Diego gets behind 0-30, 15-30, or 0-40 and somehow survives. This Next to last Diego last service game was a 15 minute mini set that he escaped.

Then Diego loses his next service game. Just flat out choked. Spraying the ball , missing gimmee shots and loses the set.

Diego is choking, Theim looks exhausted, just ugly tennis at the moment.

I think Thiem has reached the end even if he does survive this match.

While the serve is a big issue, it’s not always only the serve. Earlier today and in the USO final he was too passive and let his opponents dictate. For an aggressive player as he is, this should never be the case

I think court positioning, so that he can always be somewhat aggressive will always be an issue. It seems like natural clay courters take forever to get it in their head to put themselves in a position on the court to be aggressive. I think he stands a better shot at figuring out the serve before he fixes the aggression part.

Well Diego can't seem to hold two service games in a row.

There's the fact that after this match the winner gets two full days of rest before the SF's so with Dominic, who knows?

Maybe. I would think it would be easier to stand closer to the baseline than to change a serve. But I'm not a professional, so I won't say I understand or can identify.

Thiem can’t seem to build on anything today. The minute he gets a break. He gives it right back and winning that second set has seemingly done nothing for him.

 

[Bonaca]

Yes, first set for Diego.
Vamos LittleBigman.
Send this arrogant peasant home!

Well Dominic winning the 3rd set is big, needs to finish it off in 4. Five sets is not good for him to say the least.

 

[Bonaca]

No matter what, in next round the Austrian peasant will lose.
This time he took what Diego gifted him.

I think you can't say anything in general based on USO final. He was obviously anxious and nervous being so close to the trophy and that too playing against a NB3 player.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

At this rate Rafa and Sinner's match will be played at breakfast,they should start a match on Lenglen.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I’m over this match. Even as a Thiem fan, someone just needs to win this already.

 

[Bonaca]

Come on Diego take the 4th set.
4 hours already played.
Domina will be toast in next round!

Right when you think this match can’t get any more cringe-worthy, Diego serving for the set at 5-4, 40-0, and gets broken.

Though Theims DTL FH to get to deuce was a beaut...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Shorty should have closed out the 4th set.....this could come back to bite him

 

[10isfan]

Average rank of Nadal’s opponents thus far is 152. If he beats Sinner, he’ll get someone with nothing left in the tank. What a gift for him.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Just take this damn 4th set Thiem, so this match can be over.
