Nope, I've just liked Thiem since he was ranked down in the 50s and was just emerging. And it's about time that the likes of him and Zverev and Medvedev say "enough's enough" to the old guard.

Yeah, I was impressed by Thiem when he first came on the scene, he and Zverev were very impressive. Medvedev I have only followed over the last 2 years or so. But Thiem has improved his game further. He's much more cool and measured, which is key in the big matches. Djokovic has a big task to win this one now, being 2-1 down in sets. It's do or die for him in this 4th set.

But his meltdown's can cost him against the very best opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Thiem is 2-1 up in sets and it is 3-3 in the 4th set. It's very tight here, Djokovic trying desperately to stay in this match. Edited February 2, 2020 by Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Djokovic wins his service game without dropping a single point and wins the set 6-3 in the process. It looks like Novak is back to his best, but Thiem has played some superb tennis himself today. Thiem will start serving in the 5th set, will he win his first ever Grand Slam against the mighty Djokovic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted February 2, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 2, 2020 Does the fifth set go to a tie break nowadays? Preferred the marathon 5th sets we used to get to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
