But, Thiem played really well (except for the initial jitters) until a voice told hime in the last game that it is time to lose the set

Thiem has a very good but not great game and mentally he's not up for this level

For all the talk of clay court prowess he has yet to win a big tournament on it

right Mox. And because he's already a set down he feels the need to get his gun off even faster

He's panicking a bit.

Agreed Darth. The problem with Thiem is he doesn't have an "unplayable" gear, which is a gear even inferior, less consistent players have

So he just can't hit you off the court like someone like Kyrgios does, for example
