Nole seems very focused today, hope he can continue like that

 

[DarthFed]

The Djoker-Berd match looks to be done already. Goffin took the last 4 games of the first set to take it 6-4.

 

[DarthFed]

Now 6 straight games for McFly. Thiem has to stop the bleeding quickly before this totally gets away.

a walk in the park for the great Serbinator

Yep, he's giving Thiem all he can handle.

 

[DarthFed]

Thiem breaks back to get to 4-5 in the 2nd. At 2 sets down he probably would be done, hanging on by a thread.

Djokovic ups the ante and breaks to take the 2nd set. Seems to be in clear control.

 

[britbox]

Missed the end of the second set (Thiem/Goffin) but see Thiem fought back to take it on a breaker.

Down a break in the third

 

[britbox]

Djokovic beats Berdych 6/3 7/5 6/3

Enlists the help of a ballkid to thank fans.

 

[britbox]

Does lightning strike twice... Goffin could get broken again here serving for the set. 2 BPs for Dom after a scorcher DTL backhand

 

[britbox]

Thiem breaks for 5-5!

 

[DarthFed]

Thiem just won the set. Wild swings in this one, so far the key is starting the set out poorly getting down 4-2 or 5-3 and then rallying!

Lol. Watching this on a tiny screen via a betting website... I thought he'd levelled it.. ha ha. Is this on tennis channel? I might flip over to a different feed.

 

[britbox]

Got it on British Eurosport 2 and Chromecasting.

Thiem looks like he should take this to the house.

 

[DarthFed]

Yep, nice recovery from a set and 5-3 down. Pretty terrible for Goffin but I'm glad to see Thiem get through.

 

[britbox]

Is he through already? My feed must be way behind. He's 3-0 up at my end.

 

[DarthFed]

4-0 now, so Roose Bolton's late wife has started to sing!

She's singing alright...

 

[britbox]

Yay.. GSM Dominic Thiem 4-6 7-6 6-4 6-1

 

[Tennis Fan]

That was an outstanding match. Goffin seems a little too slight. He reminds me of Kei Nishikoro, not enough strength, even if they win a tough match, they might not have enough to keep going all the way.
