I'm watching the rerun of Coric v. B-A on TC. I know Coric lost, but it's good to get to watch him. He's brave and aggressive. Has hit a couple of stunning return winners. It's a good match, in the first set. I can see why JLLB touts him.

Yes, JLLB wins the "Future Talent Seer Award" for having pointed out Coric a few years ago.

Could La Monf win the title ?

Good for Thiem. He was the more mature player out there today. Not especially surprising, since he had Monfils on the other side of the net, but he's impressive. Sousa was also very strong today, in a tough match v. Bautista Agut. Very hard to pick the winner here. Thiem is strong, but Sousa is swift and willing to fight a physical match. I'd be happy for either.

Great win by Dominic Thiem: 6-4, 6-1 against Sousa.

:clap

A rare occurrence today, to have 2 new ATP titlists on the same day: Paire and now Thiem.
Can Mannarino win too, so we have then 3 for 3??

EDIT: This is not Thiem's first title, he won another one recently in Nice.

You are too conservative. he is a young man, let him experience various things he may have fun with. He looks good actually with the blonde hairdo.

Haha. Someone else saw Limahl in that new blonde do. That was the first thing I thought when I saw it.

Yes, Dominic is still a kid, so I give him some fun with the hair, and learning his look. Glad he is having some fun.

Outstanding week for Thiem. And while Kyrgios might get the lions share of the "young guns" press, Thiem's got him topped on main tour titles, 2-0.

Very nice job by Thiem, indeed. Also closing on the top 20 rather fast.
