Dominic Thiem

No niestety "dominator" znów się nie popisał. Dziś porażka z Andersonem 0:2. Ten facet liczy się tylko na maczce i nic z tym nie robi. Szkoda zapowiada się kolejny nudny sezon...może przynajmniej Kevin coś zwojuje trzymam kciuki chociaż on chce się jakoś doskonalić.

Wirtuozem na hard nie będzie nigdy, ale jest przynajmniej na zachętę to 3. miejsce w Abu Dhabi.

Wirtuozem na hard nie będzie nigdy, ale jest przynajmniej na zachętę to 3. miejsce w Abu Dhabi.

Aby zająć to 3. miejsce musiał aż przegrać z Andersonem, z Carreno był już mecz o pietruszkę.
Także nie jestem przekonany, że go to zachęci.

Last Time Thiem Did This? February 2016

Spoiler:

Austrian will meet Monfils or Gojowczyk in SF
In 2017, Dominic Thiem reached five semi-finals, all of them on clay. But less than a week into the 2018 season, the World No. 5 has already reached a hard-court semi-final.

The top-seeded Thiem halted the run of #NextGenATP Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas on Thursday at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha 7-5, 6-4 to advance to his first outdoor hard-court semi-final since February 2016 in Acapulco, where he won the ATP World Tour 500 title (d. Tomic). Thiem also advanced to the semi-finals of the indoor Moselle Open in Metz in September 2016.

Thiem hit big all match and took time away from the 6'4” Tsitsipas, who reached his second ATP World Tour quarter-final by beating French veteran Richard Gasquet in straight sets on Wednesday.

The World No. 5 Thiem hit 33 winners and was successful during 10 of his 12 net attempts. He also won nearly 60 per cent of his second-serve return points (16/27).

“I was serving well again today and returning well. That's what I was working on in the off-season so it already pays off now,” Thiem said on court after the match.

He walked away impressed with Tsitsipas. The 19-year-old Greek, who was the youngest Doha quarter-finalist since 2006 runner-up Gael Monfils, has now reached consecutive ATP World Tour quarter-finals, dating back to his semi-final run at the European Open in Antwerp last October.

“He's already so good at a young age. I think he's going to be for sure a top player in the near future,” Thiem said. “He's playing very well, aggressive with a good service, nice one-handed backhand.”


The Austrian will next face Monfils, who saved a set point in the second set to beat German Peter Gojowczyk 6-3, 7-6(6). Monfils last reached a semi-final in June 2017 at the International Eastbourne. The Frenchman is playing in his first tournament since 2017 US Open. Thiem leads their FedEx ATP Head2Head series 3-0.

Andrey Rublev, another #NextGenATP star, had better luck during his quarter-final match. The 20-year-old Russian, who was runner-up at last year's Next Gen ATP Finals, beat Croatia's Borna Coric for the second time in as many matches 6-3, 7-5 to reach the third semi-final of his career (also 2016 Umag, 2016 Milan).

Rublev was down a break, 2-4, in the second set, but rallied to advance in straight sets. The 20-year-old Moscow native also beat Coric in the semi-finals of the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan.

“I was feeling the ball well. I knew since the beginning of the match that I have to try to dictate the point. I have to try to attack. I have to try to lead, but I have to try to do it with a good position. That was the key,” Rublev said.

Rublev will next face Argentina's Guido Pella, who saved both break points faced and dismissed qualifier Mirza Basic of Bosnia and Herzegovina 6-2, 6-3. Pella, No. 64 in the ATP Rankings, will look to reach his third ATP World Tour final (2017 Munich, 2016 Rio de Janeiro).

Thiem Sets Blockbuster Monfils SF

Spoiler:

Bedene and Delbonis to meet for spot in Buenos Aires final

Dominic Thiem had never lost a match at the Argentina Open (7-0) heading into Friday evening's quarter-final against home favourite Guido Pella. And while the left-handed Pella produced an inspired performance, the World No. 6 moved into the semi-finals with a 7-6(7), 6-4 victory.

It could be déjà vu for Thiem, who is now within two matches of winning his first clay-court event of the season for the third year in a row.

After saving five set points prior to the first-set tie-break, Pella earned two set points of his own at 6/4. But Thiem simply was too good in the key moments, earning his 10th tour-level triumph of the campaign. The Austrian will face an in-form Gael Monfils, who saved three of five break points he faced to defeat Argentine Leonardo Mayer 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.

The Frenchman is pursuing his second tour-level title of the season, and will look to turn around what has been a lopsided FedExATP Head2Head rivalry with Thiem. The top seed has triumphed their three clashes.

Monfils and Thiem were scheduled to play earlier this season in the Qatar ExxonMobil Open semi-finals, but the Austrian was forced to withdraw due to a fever. The Frenchman would go on to claim his seventh ATP World Tour title. Thiem is attempting to continue a streak of three straight seasons with at least one trophy.

On the bottom half of the draw, Aljaz Bedene will look to advance to his third ATP World Tour final (2015 Chennai, 2017 Budapest) after upsetting fifth seed Diego Schwartzman 6-4, 6-4.

The Slovenian extended his record to 2-0 against Schwartzman in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series. Bedene will play the fifth tour-level semi-final of his career on Saturday, and just his second outside of Chennai (2012, 2015, 2016).

On the other side of the net will be two-time ATP World Tour titlist Federico Delbonis, who battled past 34-year-old Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-3, 7-5 in one hour, 25 minutes.

It is the first time that the left-hander has battled past the quarter-finals at the tournament, after losing in the final eight twice before (2013, 2015). Delbonis leads the pair’s FedEx ATP Head2Head series 1-0, with their only tour-level meeting coming at 2012 Barcelona.

Did You Know?
Thiem has lost a set 1-6 against Monfils in two of the three meetings in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series, but eventually won each of those matches.

Austrian stays undefeated at Argentina Open, will play Bedene for title
Dominic Thiem booked a spot in his first ATP World Tour final of the season by dominating Gael Monfils 6-2, 6-1 at the Argentina Open on Saturday.

The Austrian, who won the event in 2016, has never lost a match in Buenos Aires (8-0). Thiem also moved to 4-0 in his FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry against the Frenchman. The pair was also set to play in the semi-finals of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open earlier this season before Thiem withdrew due to illness.

The World No. 6 was ruthless throughout the 62-minute match, converting on four of nine break points while not facing a break point on his own serve.

Thiem will face Aljaz Bedene, who downed Federico Delbonis 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 to level their FedEx ATP Head2Head series at 1-1. The victory dashed home fans' hopes of an Argentine champion.


"I played really well in the first set but I dropped a little bit in the second," Bedene said. "He played really well in that second set; all credit to him. I'm happy I managed to come through in the third. I'm serving pretty well. Not everything depends on my serve, but it helps."

The Slovenian will be playing in his third tour-level final (2015 Chennai, 2017 Budapest) and seek his first ATP World Tour title when he meets Thiem on Sunday. Bedene also upset No.5 seed Diego Schwartzman, 6-4, 6-4 in the quarter-finals.

After splitting the first two sets with Delbonis, Bedene broke the Argentine's serve in the third to take a 2-1 lead. The World No.51 never looked back, winning the next four games to seal the match in one hour, 55 minutes.

"I just want to do my best tomorrow and see what happens."

Top Seeds Continue Hot Start To 2018 Season
Robert Farah and Juan Sebastian Cabal, the recent Australian Open finalists, continued their excellent start to the 2018 campaign with a 7-6(8), 6-2 victory against Diego Schwartzman and Dominic Thiem on Saturday to advance to the final in Buenos Aires. The Colombians, who are the top seeds, have won at least two tour-level titles for four straight seasons, and will look to win their first of the year on Sunday.

In the final they will face fourth-seeded Argentines Andres Molteni and Horacio Zeballos, who ousted compatriots Guillermo Duran and Maximo Gonzalez 7-6(5), 7-6(2).

Did You Know?
Thiem can make it four straight years with a tour-level title on Sunday against Bedene.

Ruthless Thiem Streaks To Buenos Aires Title

Spoiler:

Austrian claims second Argentina Open crown
If Dominic Thiem's start to the Latin American Golden Swing is any indication of his 2018 form, the rest of the ATP World Tour better take notice. The Austrian blasted to the title at the Argentina Open, not dropping a set all week in notching the clay-court title.

Thiem dominated Sunday's final, downing Aljaz Bedene 6-2, 6-4 in one hour and 31 minutes. He extended his perfect mark in Buenos Aires to 9-0, having previously won the title in 2016, and lifted his ninth ATP World Tour trophy in total. It was his first crown in nearly a year, since triumphing in nearby Rio de Janeiro last February.

Thiem's victory puts him in elite company, becoming just the third player in the last 30 years to win multiple titles in the Argentine capital. The World No. 6 joins Spaniards David Ferrer (2012-14) and Carlos Moya (1995, '03, '06) in the exclusive club.


Thiem and Bedene took to Estadio Guillermo Vilas on a searing hot Sunday afternoon in Buenos Aires. Much like he did all week in scoring convincing wins over Horacio Zeballos, Guido Pella and Gael Monfils, the Austrian was on the front foot throughout the encounter.

Thiem saved a break point in the third game of the opener and would secure his first lead of the match in the next game, as a Bedene backhand sailed wide. Another break saw him surge ahead for 5-2 and he closed out the first set with an unreturned serve after just 35 minutes.

Bedene did well to remain focused as the second set got underway, turning aside four break points in his first service game. But an error-strewn service game at 4-4 proved costly, as Thiem grabbed the decisive break to serve for the championship. Seeking his first ATP World Tour title, Bedene did his best to fight off his opponent in the final game, saving two match points with deep returns. But Thiem would seize his third chance to close it out, raising his arms in victory after an hour and a half.

Thiem improved to 3-0 in FedEx ATP Head2Head encounters, scoring his second victory over Bedene this year. He prevailed in the second round of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha to open the season, as well.

Seeded first this week, Thiem earns $101,360 in prize money and 250 ATP Rankings points. Bedene, meanwhile, takes home $53,385 and 150 ATP Rankings points, rising eight spots to a projected career-high of No. 43 on Monday. He was seeking his maiden title in his third final, having previously finished runner-up in Chennai in 2015 (l. to Wawrinka) and in Budapest last year (l. to Pouille).

ATP Buenos Aires: Dominic Thiem triumfalnie powrócił na ulubioną nawierzchnię

Spoiler:

Dominic Thiem wygrał rozgrywany na kortach ziemnych turniej ATP World Tour 250 w Buenos Aires. W finale Austriak w dwóch setach pokonał Aljaza Bedene.
REKLAMA

Ceglana mączka to zdecydowania ulubiona nawierzchnia nawierzchnia Dominika Thiema. Właśnie na kortach ziemnych Austriak zanotował dwa wielkoszlemowe półfinały (Roland Garros 2016 i 2017) oraz zdobył sześć z ośmiu tytułów w głównym cyklu. W Buenos Aires Thiem rozegrał pierwszy w tym sezonie turniej na ukochanej ziemi. I zakończył go zdobyciem tytułem. W niedzielnym finale okazał się lepszy od Aljaza Bedene.


ATP Rotterdam: tytuł w 54 minuty. Roger Federer zdeklasował Grigora Dimitrowa w finale
Thiem od początku finału pokazywał swoje największe atuty - siłę, wytrzymałość, umiejętność gry w defensywie, świetny serwis oraz potężne zagrania z głębi kortu. Pierwszego seta Austriak wygrał bezdyskusyjnie - 6:2, od stanu 1:2 zdobywając pięć gemów z rzędu.
Drugą partię najwyżej rozstawiony Thiem mógł rozpocząć od przełamania, lecz w gemie otwarcia nie wykorzystał trzech break pointów. Po tym zdarzeniu mecz się wyrównał. Bedene był w stanie dotrzymywać kroku faworyzowanemu przeciwnika i popełniał mniej niewymuszonych błędów.

REKLAMA

Ale Słoweniec w końcu nie wytrzymał narzuconego tempa. W dziewiątym gemie przy piłce na przełamanie trafił z forhendu w siatkę i oddał podanie. Tym samym Thiem wyszedł na prowadzenie 5:4, a po chwili zakończył pojedynek, wykorzystując trzeciego meczbola.

Dla tenisisty z Wiener-Neustadt to pierwszy tytuł w obecnym sezonie i łącznie dziewiąty w głównym cyklu w karierze. Na mistrzostwo czekał od lutego ubiegłego roku, gdy nie znalazł pogromcy w Rio de Janeiro. W Buenos Aires triumfował po raz drugi (poprzednio w sezonie 2016). Za zwycięstwo w Argentina Open 2018 zainkasował 250 punktów do rankingu ATP i 101,3 tys. dolarów.

Z kolei Bedene poniósł trzecią porażkę w trzecim finale imprezy głównego cyklu. Za występ w stolicy Argentyny Słoweniec wzbogacił się o 150 rankingowych "oczek" oraz 53,3 tys. dolarów premii finansowej.

Gospodarze mogli się cieszyć z triumfu swoich reprezentantów w zmaganiach debla. W niedzielnym finale Andres Molteni i Horacio Zeballos niespodziewanie pokonali 6:3, 5:7, 10-3 rozstawionych z numerem pierwszym Juana Sebastiana Cabala i Roberta Faraha, finalistów tegorocznego Australian Open. Dla Argentyńczyków to drugi wspólny tytuł w głównym cyklu (w 2016 roku zwyciężyli w Atlancie). Ogółem Molteni wywalczył czwarte deblowe mistrzostwo, a Zeballos - ósme.
