Re: 2019 French...GentsFinally some opposition for Nadal in this event... rooting for Thiem tomorrow. "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it"
Re: 2019 French...Gents@ Grav well done for picking Thiem in pg semis - no others did so - finals - not so sure Re: 2019 French...GentsAhh, missed the men's semi But, I caught the women's final Congrats Ash!! Re: 2019 French...Gents@CrossCourt: I picked Thiem, based on what I saw from Thiem and Novak in the QF. Yesterday, I was not totally convinced by Nadal; that second set should have gone to Federer. But he screwed in shot selections. On several occasions in that set, Federer was in a position to finish the point but played right back to Nadal who took over the rally every time. Federer had BPs, but failed. Was leading 40-0 on serve and got broken... Nadal had no real opponents so far, and even Goffin won a set. I can see Thiem winning tomorrow. So I pick him in the PGame "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re: 2019 French...GentsYes, Thiem wins the second set... I knew that this was not going to be an easy walk in the park for Rafa. Until now, he faced less talented players or an older one (Roger) who is less fit that Nadal on clay. Now Thiem has the clay-skills and - imo - as fit as Nadal... Nadal is using a lot of energy for the moment and still has to win two. Excited to see if Nadal can keep this huge defense up... Thiem looks like he is getting the better player in the longer rallies. "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re: 2019 French...GentsAnd then he gets broken on love at the start of set 3... a severe case of decompression.....
