Except for the fact that I don't know who Kontaveit is, that's some line-up on Centrale.

Thiem was 1 and 4 in his first match against Rafa (Barcelona). In Madrid, he improved to a TB set and 4.

That is quite a progress and so I say, he will win a set this time against Rafa.

We call her Konta2. She is not quite as good as the original, but a fairly good nextgenner...

This is a great opportunity for Del Potro. He can possibly beat Djokovic here and then can at least play a competitive match with Rafa. I am not sure about that tough. Still, I would think it's possible. A good opportunity to work on his ranking points.

Since I guessed right only 1 out of 8 last time, you probably want me to tell you who won't win this time. ;-)


it's bottom heavy, isn't it?

Thiem seems to strive when he is involved at the most critical points of a match. He has saved about 10 match points this Spring alone, that's incredibly clutch.

What is sure, a tall guy will be a finalist, among Big John, Marin, Sasha or Milos

Novak after his last match says: "I'm close to my best"
Delpo after his last match says: "I'm close to my best"
It's going to be a very interesting and competitive match :yes:
