Thiem put Nadal on a plane for Mallorca

#782

Beautiful player to watch Thiem.

#783

Yeah, has all the shots including the devastating single hander and big forehand.

Tactically is where he gets found out at times, feels like he isnā€™t the brightest of tennis players but heā€™s improved quite a bit on the hard courts.

Judging from that match though despite the fact he beat Nadal I think Zverev is the favourite, not sure what heā€™s been smoking lately but heā€™s in great form at a slam for once.

I think the Djoker has this in his pocket. Donā€™t see either Zverev or Thiem troubling him too much. And yes, he will get past Federer with ease. Rogerā€™s luck will finally run out today. Not my favourite player and I hate to admit it but Novak is the best of the lot, possibly strongest mentally.

I would like to see one of the young guns win this. Its time we had new heroes in tennis. I personally prefer Thiem as he has been more consistent when it comes to performances in the majors.

#787

Heā€™s currently down 5-2 in the first set haha. Federer is racing through.

I still think Novak will win, mind.

And with the blink of an eye itā€™s back on serve

Yep. When I first tuned in and saw 4-1 I was like wthā€¦ Federer isnā€™t even supposed to be fit enough to play and heā€™s up 4-1 lol

#790

Novak takes the first set. Does Federer have another come back in him? I donā€™t think so.

Make that two.

I think he is doing just enough to beat Roger. Not trying too hard. Just turning it on whenever he needs

ā€¦
ā€¦

And its done.

I just hope Thiem can beat Novak in the finals, although I wouldnā€™t bet on that happening.

And you were right haha

Novak will win the final in straight sets. Been imperious in this tournament.

#793

Novak just doesnā€™t lose at Melbourne Park.

Really hope Thiem beats Zverev tonight and makes the final.

#794

Dominic Thiem living a charmed life ATM, looking the way he does, top 5 in the world and into the Final of the Australian open :fire:

#795

That ā€œeasyā€ Djokovic win isnā€™t looking so easy now, is it? Heā€™s been a bit out of sorts, making unforced errors all over the show.

#796

Thiem has this in the bag now.

#797

Certainly looked that way. Djokovic seems to have regained his composure now though. Deciding set it is.

#798

Momentum with Djokovic nowā€¦

#799

2 championship points for Djokovic.

Only needed 1. 8th title in Australia

Djokovic is a nob
