Now rest that damn knee, you dolt.

 

[Budadiii]

I am no longer a fan. That was disgusting.

Let's just give no effort and allow Mager to waltz into the SF of a 500, where he can play Balacz or Portero, ensuring another mug in the final.

 

[DieGOAT]

Thiem tried his absolute best today but Mager was just too good

 

[umbrellapub]

Well theres a good reason Thiem never won a title above 500 on clay.

Anyone who has ever had problems with knees knows that you are not going to play professional tennis if your knee is not okay. So thats good for Thiem.

[Kyrgyros]

Number of wins Muger has over Thiem on clay: 0
Number of wins Mager has over Thiem on clay: 1 (and counting).

 

[The Federest]

Magerquark.

 

[POTUS Haase]

If he's injured he shouldn't have played today or before. But it has to be said, a talented shotmaker like Mager without an ATP-500 final would be a disgrace for tennis.

 

[DinnerWarrior]

Übrigens, that guarantees a q'er in the final of a 500 tournament. Not just that, but a qualifier outside of top 100. Isn't that beautiful?

 

[devision2002]

I can't believe what I saw today. Very disappointed by Dominic, it seems like he wanted to lose this match. First time I saw this non professional attitude from Dominic. I think the organisers are devastated, they will have a mug in the final.

What was the appearance fee?

"and counting" ?

 

[Plastic Hoe.]

Absolutely weird performance never seen him so dejected/indifferent during a match ever!

 

[guitarra]

I'm just glad I didn't see this shit. So not sure what to think of it. Did Dominic really tank? Please, only serious answers.

Anyway - onto Indian Wells. The pressure there will be big (much much bigger than year ago) cause he defends many points. Hopefully he gets his shit together as soon as possible and plays well again in the desert.

 

[Chris Kuerten]

Two qualifiers and a lucky loser, all ranked outside of the top 100, battling it out for a 500 final, what a time to be alive

Should've given Guga and Ferrer wildcards

What was the appearance fee?

Not sure about that but Thiem wanted the title. He just got outplayed by Mager.

While Thiem is a good claycourter - its worth remembering he shares career best titles on clay with the likes like Golubev, Mayer and Basilashvili.

Oh no, umbrella has been unbanned and he is back to his shit.

Lol.

 

[hammett]

Alls playing for Rafas 20

 

[Monsi]

One could only hope this year Thiem would finally start thinking and scheduling like a top player and not a top clay courter.

Lol.
