Thiem just beat Federer on a fast court in straights. 
 

Scenes.

Thiem improves to 5-2 over Fed H2H and is 3-0 in 2019. Remember Thiem’s brutal defeat by Rog just a year ago? Lots of improvement from Domi.

The first twitt is hilarious. Glad to see Thiem win. Thiem has Roger's number.

Thiem must be in Roger's head with that H2H and it showed. I'd be interested in seeing the stats because Roger did not look good out there, some sloppy play.

 

 

 

Kiki didn't just have a good day, she had a great weekend! The French team really couldn't have won without her.  Does she have a new coach yet?  It will be interesting to see if this makes some available coach take a look at the possibility of coaching her.

The French system truly fosters a team-centric work ethos. Both the men's and women's teams seem to really form strong teams and have remarkable results.

The net was not Roger's friend!

Medvedev looks gassed. He's had a long summer and fall schedule. Looks like has run out of gas. He has never lost to Tsitsipas. He loathes him..lol

Interesting that coming off his DQ in Charlottesville, Mmoh wins the next tournament he plays in Knoxville.  He was very forthright in talking about his actions in Charlottesville and the regret he will always feel because of those actions. Of course, he talks about other things, like making his way back from injury (I had no idea he had been injured).

Well Sascha just beat the brakes off Rafa.

I’ve seen people who’ve said they’ve never seen Rafa play worse. I find that a touch hyperbolic. That he managed to win four games in that second set is saying something, I guess.

[ChitHappens]

Saw the highlights and Rafa was terrible!

[DramatistDreamer]

LOL. Contentious.

LLololol

 

But man did Rafa play like [!@#$%^&*]. I'm not sure if he was worried about his injury getting worse or resurfacing because he played like poop.
