I hope not. I hope Thiem will find a way to end it before TB. He is definitely the better player now.

by summerblues Mon Sep 14, 2020 12:49 am

Oh no

HAahaha comical these two chokers

Why? You thought wet nappy Zverev would serve that out? More balls to be found in a nuns convent than with this generation of LOSERS.

by summerblues Mon Sep 14, 2020 12:53 am

Beautiful choke from Zverev!

Theim serving better for sure than Z - but has to hold.

by Daniel2 Mon Sep 14, 2020 12:57 am

WHAT A SHOT by Theim!

by Daniel2 Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:02 am

Can Theim serve it out or are we in for more comedy?

Zverev does look like a dead man walking.

by summerblues Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:04 am

I hope he can. If he gets broken then neither of them deserves it. They should just stop at 6:6 and declare no champion this year.

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

God this is so worthless! Let's just turn lights off on this generation.

by summerblues Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:09 am

LOLZ. They are serving for the match like Fed vs Nole.

by Daniel2 Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:10 am

hahaha

by Daniel2 Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:14 am

I'd say Zverev's pitiful serving may be the critical factor.

by Daniel2 Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:17 am

OMG these two are SHITE!!!!!

Theim has made Z his bitch at the net points tho.

by Tenez Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:20 am

I could have won that final!

by Tenez Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:22 am

This is the poorest tennis I have seen at a pro-level for a while. And it happened to be in a slam final.

At least the result is the goof one.

by summerblues Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:22 am

Glad that Thiem won. Good for him. Hopefully he can win a couple of more slams at least before he is done.

by summerblues Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:24 am

There was some high grade choking going on from both of them. In the end, I think Zverev's ability to serve a DF after a DF made the difference.

by N2D2L Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:24 am

An absolutely massive serve at 5-6 down from Zverev to save championship point. Laugh

Happy for Thiem. He was obviously physically hampered today, but deserved it nonetheless. Now I hope he does into party mode for a few weeks!

by summerblues Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:25 am

Hopefully Thiem will not lose hunger for the French Open. He could become the first player ever to win both Roland Garros and the USO one month apart.

by Daniel2 Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:28 am

Zverev was terrible wasn't he. So bad it made Thiem's bottling look excusable. 2 DFs in the tie break of your life....

by Tenez Mon Sep 14, 2020 8:10 am

I would not like to be Zverev this morning.

by Jahu Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:14 am

Why not? No GS, but a $1.5m should make your tears go away after 15 min of crying.

He is young and can win a GS, though Becker the criminal fraudster said yesterday that Zverev is a mental giant Laugh

Good to see Thiem made it finally and hopefully he can take RG too.

by Tenez Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:19 am

I don't think he is going to think about his millions today. Just the sad fact the world and all his tennis peers witnessed that meltdown against a disabled opponent might last longer than his millions.

by Jahu Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:50 am

But Thiem only admitted to nerves, not any injury, as he was kicking ass last 3 sets.

by naxroy Mon Sep 14, 2020 11:00 am

Happy for Thiem.

Both players were clearly nervous, but what can you expect when it is just three guys winning slams in the last 4 years

by Tenez Mon Sep 14, 2020 11:44 am

"I wish we could have two winners today, we both deserve it," Thiem told Zverev, whom he has known since they were juniors.

Frankly, neither of you deserved it.

Thiem just deserved on the fact that he had reached 3 slam finals and in all the 3 he was asked to beat both Nadal and Djoko. Very difficult.

This was his chance, and he took it. So well deserved.

by raiders_of_the_lost_ark Mon Sep 14, 2020 12:54 pm

And nitb said to me once that Tsitsipas will win a slam before Thiem. So so wrong.

Yes but only because Zverev chocked it big way...and Djoko made that stupid mistake.

Don;t get me wrong, I don't mind Thiem. The fact he has a SHBH is enough for me to give him some credit but did you see those final gutless games from both?

It can happen. In RG 2009, Fed too became extremely nervous when Nadal was ousted in R4 and he suddenly was being pipped to win it now. He almost lost of Haas and Delpotro.

by Jahu Mon Sep 14, 2020 2:43 pm

True, when everyone expects you to win easy or the tournament now is yours so just show up, it can screw up your brain pretty good.

Really? Can you compare what we saw yesterday with fed's performance in 2009? Wow... Fed played great in FO 09 he won 15% more point than Haas but was very unlucky to find himself 2 sets down in spite of playing well. It's the scoring system which sometimes allows close matches in spite of difference in level and those things can happen. Yet under ultimate pressure he still went for his shots. Fed tried all the way and pushed his skills and luck. No slice rallies at 35mph. This is exactly the opposite of what happened yesterday.

by Jahu Mon Sep 14, 2020 11:32 pm

Updated all time GS list. Average points equals to average points per Slam. Brog still kicking ass Cool

(not my work).

Tenez is right. Zverev and Thiem both played like they were heading for a gas chamber. No balls. It was who would lose it, not who would win. And Zverev has proven himself the bigger bottler.
