PS. Had Djokovic gone walkabout in 2014, Fed's year would have longed different then also ...

Very good start by Thiem..rafa has to take advantage of his opportunities

I've never thought Rafa was to go so far in Madrid so maybe he should leave early in Roma......lease:

Too late he might as well win the damn thing

You shouldn't be too worried as he hardly looks tired and there's currently no one one tour playing well enough on clay to beat him anyway. Especially in the best of 5 at RG. Only Federer whose form no one can tell as of now could possibly challenge him going by what's transpired in the clay season so far.

Thiem is cucking Nadal's forehand with his own.
It's backed up by stats as well:
Thiem - 3500 RPM, 137 km/h average
Nadal - 3400 RPM, 124 km/h average
Very impressive.
Nadal works the angles way better, has more variety and it's a waaaaaay better defensive shot, but Dominic's fh is so penetrating, it's a joy to watch.

Where are u getting your stats

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Just started watching. Thiem has already outdone Novak in the first set.

Rafa seems to be wanting his serve to be really good and struggling bit at that.

Thiem forced to hit short balls often which Rafa is able to finish off.

I saw it on TV. Oh, does it look like I am making it up hahaha? If I wasn't so lazy I would rewind it and take a pic for you. Besides, I don't want to miss this spectacle.
Nadal is bullying Thiem's bh and when Domi tries to do the same, Nadal smacks a baseline winner or a passing shot. Dude is on fire.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Good tennis so far

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Rafa has used drop shots effectively at least several times. DT needs to be more alert for this.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

great saving of three set points :clap

 

[rafanoy1992]

Thiem just did a Nadal on those set points with some big aggressive tennis. That some amazing tennis right there!

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Thiem is for sure mentally strong to come out of that big hole he dig at a crucial moment, that too.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Rafa is surely winning in the angles dept.
