Dominic Thiem confirming that he doesn't consider Nadal an all time great. Discuss

 

[xdrewitdajx]

I’m sure that’s exactly what he was trying to say

 

[nole_no1]

It's obviously a joke thread from my side, guys, so calm down 😂

 

[Supercell]

Woohoo! Thiem should be careful with his wording.

Somewhere in Mallorca...

 

[enlightenedth]

Hihihi, maybe there's a chance he doesn't know Nadal hasn't won it.

 

[Sombrerero loco]

lol dom XD

Hihihi, maybe there's a chance he doesn't know Nadal hasn't won it.

He explicitly made reference to the fact that there'd be a new winner of the Finals after he beat Djokovic yesterday, so he knows. But as OP says, this is just a funny joke thread, and Thiem was probably just generalizing when he said that.

Thiem is just so beyond Nadal at this point that he doesn't even think of him 😉

 

[Bella&Mirka]

Wow, Nadalitos in ruins...

.... then again, every ATG has also won Wimb and RG, so maybe Thiem should think twice.

 

[BaselineGod]

lol dom XD

The only ATG ever is Kontinen, the rest are pretenders

 

[Orka_n]

"The King is Dead" statement from Thiem. Ruthless stuff from the brutal austrian

That means you hereby exclude the following players from ATG status:

Lendl - no Wimbledon
Wilander - no Wimbledon
Sampras - no RG
McEnroe - no RG
Connors - no RG
Becker - no RG
Edberg - no RG

AFTER the Uso

So GSs > WTF

 

[DjokoKing]

All the greats had more than one slam by the time they turned 27 too.

do you not count Sampras, Lendl, McEnroe, Connors, Edberg, Becker as ATGs then?

AFTER the Uso

So GSs > WTF

AO >>>>> Wimbledon > ATP Finals >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> US Open > RG is how I'd rank them.

 

[jj52480]

Agh, I think it just slipped his mind in the moment of the comment that Nadal hadn't won it. He may not be privy to that record, either.

 

[SuperG]

Thiem is the kind of person who will never verbally attack or discredit any player. Not even Muster or Bresnik.

 

[Hugo]

What he means is that the winner is in great company and that it's an honour to play for it. Somebody ask Domi if he would trade a WTF title for 1-13 RG titles or 2-20 GS titles and see what happens...

 

[NADALalot]

ATP Finals is won by these greats....Dimitrov, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Medvedev....
