Not much fun to be found here when Nadal’s destroying again.
Shame for Thiem as now Nadals serving first in the fourth set.
Thoughts prof?
Well, that was quick. Any chance Domi coming back from this? The momentum seems to have shifted completely and Nadal looks like he’s found his ruthlessmost form.
Theim took a whole set off there
Not watching, i’m outside. But I hope for nadal
If he breaks here then yeah.
Thiem needs to hold here. No stupid errors. And he starts with one
Nadal just too good on clay, makes everyone look average.
Nadal breaks.
Sigh. This match started with such promise..
Instead Nadal breaks again!
Like I said about the momentum, it’s firmly in Nadal’s favour now.
One thing on clay, you really need to be patient. Them going for too much when he needs to be patient.
Yep.
Fed and Djokovic would have had multiple FO any other generation. Thiem probably would have won one too.
This looks done
He seems to be running out of steam really. Tough ask to be playing consecutive days against Djokovic and Nadal and not dipping your level at some point.
Another break point for Thiem...
Dunked into the net (sigh)
Trophy presentation coming up soon
well done Thiem. Great hold from love 40 down.
That could be a turning point. Break and it was done
Just when I started watching again. You're welcome, Domo.
He was missing you
What's all this then!?
Deal's off, Thiem.
Deal's off, Thiem.
Weird implosion by Thiem in the end. Game over after he won a set. Like that was his goal and he though ah feck it, rest is a bonus.
Congrats to Nadal and all his fans.
Thiem will win next year.
Thiem will win next year.
I think Rafa has 1-2 more slams left in him, he can get to 20 before he retires hopefully.
Well done Rafa. His dominance at RG is insane.
I remember when everyone used to say Nadal would be done in his 30s. But that’s four slams, few other slam finals and semi finals in his 30s. The guy is a machine.
Wow, just wow.
We will never see someone win 12 titles at a Grand Slam again. Not in our lifetimes.
Phenomenal achievement.
Phenomenal achievement.
Since Thiem won that second set, he only won 2 more games in the match.
Don't worry young Thiem you will win this one day.
Exhaustion probably caught up to him...
Nadal could beat the previous GS record just with French opens! Could easily win 15
Tennis will never be the same again after Rafa and Federer retire sadly.
Thiem will get there eventually. I think he needs to finally win a Masters 1000 on clay first though. His results have been consistently very good, but he's not won enough big tournaments on the surface.
I agree. Well not in our lifetimes probably. The cycle will start again but can't see it with this new crop of players.
Still waiting for one of them to make the breakthrough..
Agree. We’re blessed to witness this era. I’ll be sad when they both retire.
