Playing rallys ain’t gonna do it for Thiem. Needs to go for some big shots.
When I grow up I want to be Marat Safin
Just a little short on the backhands atm, Novak won’t miss a chance to control the points.
Safins “coaches” box in 02 Aus Open. Lol, what a life.

Great point.

Interesting. Thiem starting to find his range and Novak chose not to come in when he could have.
Yep, thats his go . Must take chances and hit it cleanly.
ITS TIME
Woah! Massive forehand winner from Thiem.
One weakness that I’ve always hated from NOLE is that he badly needs the crowd to go for him. I guess Nick is right about him. It’s not personal NOLE it’s just the crowd loves an underdog.

Also, the crowd doesn’t want a 3 set walk in the park. Novak has never seemed to understand that his displeasure actually makes it worse. Great great player but a bit of a princess at times.

They never liked him when he was the underdog.
Tennis fans are pretty ■■■■. Much as they doth protest.

He’s playing brave. He has to.
Fack
Bad way to lose the set.
Novak gives very little away.
One thing I hate about tennis. If you get correction the ball was good replay the point.
You should not get a first serve again.
Why?
If you had faulted the first serve?
