Well I wasn’t quite expecting that. Tough stuff from Thiem.

Djokovic very inconsistent and a bit rattled. He should switch back on after this blip.

Oh no Novak touched the umpire

just imagine if Tyson Frizell was playing in this game

As long as De Rapistmerkin isn't involed....

 

[Apey]

I'm genuinely surprised veterans like Nadal and Djokovic got so rattled after time violations.

 

[Apey]

Djokovic ain't losing this.

I see the GOAT triangle as almost a contest to see who can outlast the other. The last one remaining will have a real chance to win every Grand Slam until they too finally retire, since the turnips currently below them are mostly cannon fodder. The youngest active player to have one a Grand Slam is turning 32 this year. A generation where a tennis hating clown act like Kyrgios is perennially talked up as a slam chance, yet last made a QF five years back.

Almost like the Hellfish bonanza episode from the Simpsons - one of them will be the final one standing and with the chance to have a clear run at the loot, though not for too long.

Even before this match started, thiem looks the best of next gen. If he wins this I reckon he can topple Nadal at French.

I may or may not have done a Parraboy with my earlier match prediction. Thiem is playing brilliantly

He is a freakish player. Did you see him against Nadal where he slipped over and got back up and won the rally

f**k you

The GOAT is playing like he has scrapie at the moment

Unfortunately yes I did.

 

[LatK7]

I still think Djokovic wins this, but this drop in form will only become more frequent for Djokovic as time goes by.

Yeah, I think he looks sick or fatigued or something. His form has been on all tournament, seems unlikely it's gone two days later

Close but i won't bite

 

[Apey]

Knowing my luck he'll come back and win the next two sets.

Nah I reckon he's done. He doesn't look right. Shame

 

[Apey]

He's still going to win.

 

[LatK7]

You just knew Thiem was going to collapse there. That'll probably be the match with a big reversal in form coming at the worst possible time for Thiem.

 

[Wizardman]

The serbian prick is just too good

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Djokovic is a f**king freak. Thiem has been unreal tonight and would thrash just about anybody else in the world playing like this

 

[LatK7]

Not good enough from Thiem. He looks gassed.

Djokovic not doing too much with the ball now. Working well. Recovered just in time to come through with this one.
