Thiem drives me crazy with his court positioning. He has to change playing in "no man’s land" if he wants to win Slams.

Medvedev is the one that drives me to distraction over court positioning! In that USO last year against Nadal in the final, he was being jerked around and made to exhaust him trying to get to drop shots due to being camped so far behind the baseline! That's something Nole never does so he's always the one running the opponent instead of the other way around! Technical Daniil probably should have won that much but for allowing himself to be run to death throughout that 5 set thriller! :)

Seriously? The guy who enjoyed his first lead in the match at 1-0 in the 5th, some 4 hours in? And didn't see another one after like 3-1? And yet he probably should have won it? That's parallel universe talk.

Everyone says that about where Rafa stands, and he has 19 Slams. Surely Thiem can win one or two with his own strategy.

Stefanos cannot serve out this match. Now it's even.

The Young Greek will serve to force a t/breaker in the 4th set,
He should be off the court by now....mental breakdown.

Coric saves 6MPS and then wins the next six games in set 4 7-5

5th set coming.............

The Young Greek in total meltdown will only have himself to blame if he loses this match

This is an epic collapse. If he loses this match, I fear for his sanity for the rest of the year.

Well it's going 5 unnecessarily! It's this New Gen that just frustrates the HELL outta ya! I want to be a Tsitsipas fan, but overplaying when ahead like that just drives ya to distraction! Love Coric and it wouldn't bother me, but Stefanos was on tract to really do something! This will set him back a lot if he loses this match! Mentally he'll be done! He won't do anything in the next round even if he survives! :facepalm:

I think there should be a straight jacket brought on court if he loses this match....or maybe this will be a hard lesson learnt if he loses.

If Tsitsipas lose this match after having six match points, oh boy! All of them match points were on his own serve too!

These youngsters today are easily distracted....the only way they will learn is to find a way to win,even 'ugly' if they have to.

That's what makes Medvedev comeback in last year's final impressive. He took took it to Nadal (with a little help from Nadal) until the very end of the match.

I really want to be a fan, but that collapse was not encouraging. I really want to see what he's made of here.

Somebody please remind Tsitsipas which are the "in" parts of the lines, and which are the "out" ones.
Let's see if he can win the match....a good lesson for him
It's only a good lesson if you learn from it, and don't just accumulate scars.
