Expected. When is this old man going to retire for good?

 

[Everko]

He used to be a warrior but he needs to retire now. He has nothing left to prove.

 

[jonathancrane]

Thiem :yeah:

 

[nole_no1]

Young GOAT def. old GOAT

Legendary :yeah:

 

[Mongoose]

quite possibly a preview of the 2014 French Open final :worship:

 

[Certinfy]

Beating a former World Number 1 and a GS Champion for your first ATP win is something. Has it actually ever been done before?

I'm really impressed with this kid. Muster wasn't bad either. :yeah:

 

[ciprianned]

imo Thiem is Haas 2

same style

 

[Sapeod]

Why are people so amazed by this? Muster is 44 years old and has won 1 match during his comeback. Thiem was obviously going to win.

 

[Everko]

who did Muster beat?

not really

there was always the possibility that dominic would get flustered playing muster and play crap allowing muster to grab the win

im glad he didnt and took the oppertunity provided to him

 

[LawrenceOfTennis]

Muster :worship:
Thiem looks good and definetely not like somebody who is almost out of 2000.

 

[Mateya]

This was the official change of the guard...Thiem to win RG 2016, maybe even earlier.

Muster, retire please (or play challengers).
:wavey:

 

[bjurra]

When was the last time a guy ranked outside top 1500 won a ATP match?

:wavey:

The problem that he loses in first round there too, always. He shouldn't play tennis at all.

 

[Chris Kuerten]

Obvious tank.

 

[Henry Chinaski]

When was the last time a guy ranked outside top 1500 won a ATP match?

some unranked top guys with protected ranks probably did it regularly enough (e.g. kiefer) but not including them...good question

 

[Everko]

Thiem is worse than a challenger player

 

[bouncer7]

No country for oldmen

 

[integral]

Thiem will be beaten heavily in the next round if Davydenko is there. But with Davy you never know. The odds on Thiem will be big

 

[Henry Chinaski]

younes had no ranking when he won a match as a wc in doha last year
