2019 Roland Garros Men's Final: Rafael Nadal vs. Dominic Thiem

[Front242]

So predictable. Kinda gutted I'm not betting. Live odds make loads of cash. Thiem is so crap at holding serve, it's embarrassing

 

[mrzz]

But when you frame it, shawn... the top spin should not work. The frame is slipery...

 

[Front242]

no but I should!

 

[DarthFed]

Thiem still a middleweight. Glad he knocked out the only chance to stop the monger

 

[shawnbm]

The court is so immense that Nadal can get to almost anything and it leads to desperation on the other side.

 

[Front242]

That's the thing. Smaller court and he wouldn't be winning so easily

 

[shawnbm]

I hear ya, mrzz, but if you frame it with violent topspin, I find it goes in far more than if off of a flatter or sliced ball.

 

[backhandslapper]

Thiem has improved tho... If he at least maintains his current form... Rafa will be a whole year older in 2020

 

[tented]

Two set points

 

[Bonaca]

I can’t believe it, bull is serving for the set? What a mess Thiem is.

 

[mrzz]

Mountain to climb now...

 

[tented]

First set to Nadal

 

[Moxie]

Thiem has fought hard, Bonaca...he's not a "mess."

 

[tennisville]

That was an amazing set of clay tennis

 

[Moxie]

Now, let's see how much intensity Thiem can still manufacture.

 

[tented]

Agree, Tennisville

 

[GameSetAndMath]

This is crazy, after playing this well, nothing to show for it as usual

 

[tenisplayrla08]

In the end it looks like a basic set for Nadal.

 

[backhandslapper]

@Moxie I agree... People need to realize Rafa really is that good on clay and that hard to beat.

 

[Front242]

Sticking with my prediction of 6-3 6-2 6-2
