Hard to believe how Thiem is doing against the big 3, 2019-2020:

3-2 vs Djokovic
3-1 vs Nadal
3-0 vs Federer

Impressive

You could make a very good argument that at this present moment Thiem is the best player in the world.

Australia will be awesome!

Thiem and Medevedev coming up in a few minutes on ESPN2. There is some chatter about the Australian Open getting pushed back a few months, but Tennis Australia is denying that right now.

Where would it fit on the schedule? Right after IW and Miami? Don't know how that would work if the 2-week quarantine is still set in place.

Just read they are considering April. I guess that might work.

You could talk me into the ATP Finals championship match being 5 sets.

Obviously the players don't want it, especially after they're worn out from a long season and a long week.

But damnit, I want it.

Going three in London. Some of the Masters series used to play best of five in finals. I looked back at Federer and Nadal's head to head. They played best of five in Miami, Monte Carlo, and Rome.

Yep.

Think Med is about to take control in the 3rd.

GSM Medvedev. I guess we will see you guys in January. I wouldn't mind seeing the the big three finish with the totals they have right now.

I bet we will see four different slam winners next year, and it very well might be the four semifinalists from this tournament.

Seeing news that an Indian Wells cancellation is imminent. Weird. The Australian is apparently looking at a three week delay, to start February 8.

I totally agree. It used to be 5 sets. I don't know when they dropped it to 3.

Hell, several Masters events used to be 5 sets.
