Turned out a good match! More shots to the Stephens backhand seemed sensible..

Starting tomorrows final big on Thiem... 4.8 heavily reflects the fact it's 5 sets.. still, I think Rafa has looked 0.1 steps slower this year, and Thiem is moderately stronger than he was last year mentally. I think (hope) it's a contest.
Y, was beginning to think I was going to just be spectating again but good match in the end and really pleased it went to HalepNero Tulip wrote: ↑Sat Jun 09, 2018 4:18 pmTurned out a good match! More shots to the Stephens backhand seemed sensible..

Thiem a break down early due to nerves, got it back.. nerves still holding him back slightly.. tempted to suggest he's got the measure of this if he can tame the tension, but it's mile one of a marathon.

Concerns for Thiem here, I think he might begin to doubt the tactic of standing up to return serve... and Nadal's game plan manifested itself there, hard and high into Thiem's backhand, forcing him backwards giving him a ball on the forehand he can attack... first time it's begun to get a couple of points of traction. He might have had his chances here..

1.1 seems a decent price to oppose Nadal

backhand errors everywhere from Thiem
