Wow that drop shot decision by Med was costly

Good call, Med was chewing him up coming in on the slices.
Some scratchy play in the breaker and something up with Thiem's foot.

I actually thought he was faking a foot injury to get a breather here and there but it's legit.

If Med starts coming in more
It's driving me mad that he's not! What is he doing
Countless opportunities to come in and easily end the point but he just sits back

It's not his game. He's not great at net and usually wins 99% of the time without having to come in. Curious to see what he does here in the 3rd.

Thanks guys for bailing me out. He looks just like that m fer. Unreal.

Good movie by the way.

It's one thing for Rafa to never miss with his spin rate, but I don't know how Daniil can do this for 4-5 hours with his flat shots. He's like a damn 6'6 Murray.

This is a epic display of tennis

What a break from Thiem
Posted on 9/11/20 at 9:51 pm to Dawgsontop34
I need 2 more sets of this goodness.

Thiem fought hard, but pretty abysmal effort for Medvedev not to take at least a set in this match. I feel like he should be ahead.

Need way more fake crowd noise

He was up a break in the 2nd and 3rd and lost both in a tiebreak?
"He should have won the 2nd and 3rd sets" - McEnroe just now

Yeah med let that one slip away. I really like both of these players though. Hopefully thiem can get his Sunday

That was a pretty riveting three set match. Just punishing rallies. It felt like Med was going to take over at a few points, but Thiem just showed a ton of grit. Med was starting to carve some sick angles at the end.

People have this idea that having a lead in sports means you should win 100% of the time. Why even play up to 6? Might as well call it as soon as someone breaks.
Now if Med was up a break against Damir Dzumhur and lost in a TB, maybe you could argue that he "should have" won the set. But this is high-level tennis against animals who don't like to lose a single point. Nothing is a given, ever.
ETA: Awww your fav lost. Boo frickin hoo

That was pretty poor from Meddy tonight, but I give credit to Thiem for playing some pretty insane defense throughout. You could tell Meddy was frustrated and really didn't know what to do. Kinda reminded me a bit of the Rafa v. Novak 2013 US Open Final where Rafa kept getting that extra ball back and frustrated TF outta Nole.
I expect Thiem to beat Zverev pretty easily but we'll see.
