From 2017-2020, this was my favorite rivalry on tour. Two aggressive baseliners just crushing the ball. Their ATP Finals 2020, AO2020, and USO2018 matches were some of the highest quality I’ve seen.
ATP Finals 2020;Thiem vs Nadal best Straighter of all time
Not the best of all time but a really good match, I also think of Federer Djokovic ATP Finals 2012 final, impressive straight setter.@@TheKing-wf9es
@@flaviencrozier You are probably right
These highlights hurt more than one can enjoy, two-fold.
It's sad that we may never see this version of Dominic Thiem ever again,
and for the Rafa fans...this just may be his last rodeo.
Thiem in his prime was something else. Perhaps the hardest overall hitter on the court there's ever been. He crushes pretty much every ball so viciously.
sinner might be competition to that now but prime thiem was something else
@@Conitorsinner hits flatter tho, Domis top spin heavy forehands were just too good
@@Johnmili4565ye ik but we’re talking abt who hits harder not necessarily who’s ball is harder to get and get a quality shot back
@@Johnmili4565His backhand was so powerful too, he was practically unfazed by high balls even with a one hander. His only disadvantage was the return; he improved it in 2019 and especially 2020 but it still held him back at times.
"Del Portro entered the chat"
Absolutely insane how Rafa vs. Thiem used to be called "King of clay vs. prince of clay" and now they're meeting in the 1st round of a 250 tournament.
And the worst part has to be the fact thiem isn't capable of rediscovering his best game. The sport ran right past him during his struggles with injury, I feel. A bit like hewitt😅
And Rafa probably dosnt even have level now for 250s
@@Andres-qm1xx Well you should watch today's match then
@@ForrealIam-is6jj thiem will smash him
Well,prince of king can only be Novak
Thiem between 2017-2020 was by far the best next gen player with insane peaks. Medvedev, Tsitsipas etc could not hold a candle to him.
Just for the reminder he won last 5 out of 7 matches against Djokovic, and beat Fed in 2019 3 times in a row .
Now he is finished. He has regressed in every single aspect, return is a disaster, forehand goes long or wide on almost every ocassion and serve is mediocre at best. Pity.
He was one generation ahead of them 24-27 in those years whereas Meddy, Tsitsi, Sasha were 3 to 5 years younger. Just like Alcaraz, Rune, Shelton and Sinner are now 3-5 years younger. We will have to see how they play at their peak in 3-5 years.
wow. thiem was crushing the ball in rome. great trilogy.
These guys have such a respect for eachother, both hard working, humble and nice guys
Both of them deserve to return to greats spots on the ATP tour in 24
Thiem one of the few players who could beat Nadal on clay
Even though his peak season was off, his battle with the Big 3 was very intense.
It is really surprising that he only got two big titles.
It was such an epic rivalry this one !
So excited for their Brisbane match! 🎾
Oh what I would give to see either of these wonderful players back at even half this level!
I remember watching Thiem live, and some changes from baeline are good, and then suddenly Theim's backhand winner goes as fast as blitz. Everyone in crowd got stunned every time he did that.
7:51 this power is totally unreal😅
thiem was honestly the only one with djokovic who could consistently keep up with rafa on clay. whats more he had a one handed backhand.
If you’re hitting like this, you’re allowed to grunt 😂
In my opinion, if I have to see d best of Nadal on clay, it's against Thiem and that says a lot about Thiem. ❤❤❤
What a great video! 👍
I really wanted to see Thiem beat Nadal in the final to win Roland Garros.
Their rivalry was beautiful.
Unfortunately, he had NO CHANCE in the final at RG...
Thanks for the video was nice to see Rafa plaing tennis with Thiem - again.
I'll stream the match in my twitch 👍
Thiem used to be so good.
Looking forward to Brisbane!
😮😮😮😮Full control of the match by Thiem?? Like this 😮😮
I love rhiem but my biggest love is Rafa Nadal ❤️ well come back Rafa we're so happy to see you playing tennis again good lack.❤
Rafa Forehand 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I must admit I forgot how good Thiem was. Seeing him blasting the one hand BH, I also remember why he had to get surgery.
Thiem never had a surgery in his whole career.Please get your facts straight.
@@Sergio_Gonzales6 Indeed, my mistake. Still I understand he got injured on the wrist.
@@iansmirna5183 yep and it has nothing to do with his downfall which lasts almost 2 years now and began way before his injury.Of course in the beginning of his comeback Thiem lacked confidence in his wrist and had worries in the back of his mind not really crushing the balls as he used to do, because of this worries.There was no physical pain or hindrance in any way, just the lack of confidence in his wrist.This situation lasted for about 2 months. I heard many interviews an press conferences from him in german and english where he described his true problems, lack of confidence and motivation in training and competition, which lasted almost 1,5 years like he stated.It is really hard to get this time back he lost and surpasses his wrist injury by far.It is ridiculous that people still take his wrist as a reason for his performances the last almost 2 years.Ok they just don't know better.But I can assure you and all the others who just watch his matches, that his wrist is a 100% ok and not causing any problems since April 2022!
What a song at 9:00 ?
Little disappointed they didn't show their last clay match of 2017 where Nadal thrashed Thiem at RG only giving up 7 games plus a last set bagel...
Tennis tv is ATP only, they don’t have rights for grand slams
These two (especially Thiem) are nowhere the same players as in these highlights
This was the time when djokovic used to be not in top2 clay court players in the world. Then injuries hit Thiem. And never was same player again
nadal the strongest player ever.king of clay .
If not for thiem injury rafa and novak wouldn't have gotten to 22 and 24 slams
Thiem was clearly the best from the weak era (gen 1990-nowadays).
I don’t think you can include Alcaraz’s generation in that group. The jury is still out on Rune and Sinner, but Alcaraz has 2 slams and 5 Masters, which is already a HOF career, and he’s only 20.
@@SJ-di5zu Alcaraz is an exemption from the rest, but then again he won it in a cakewalk field. Beating a 36yo Đoković should be mandatory for him and anyone young enough who wants to transcend.
Let's see what it becomes from Rune and Sinner.
@@masters.1000 Đoković at 36 is at his best level ever, he said it himself.
@@domagojhrgovic7419clearly u haven’t watched his last levels
@@domagojhrgovic7419 ¿At his BEST? My god, have you watched anything before or just started this year.
Of course he will say that, or do you expect him to say "I'm so lucky that Federer was 6 years older and retired, Nadal is injured and no one good enough appeared in the last 15 years"
Nobody beats Nadal in clay.
Where are the dropshots??Nadal plays so far from the baseline. Thiem isn't a complete player, he won the US Open only because there was Zverev on the other side of the net.
