ranked 139 at the beginning of the year having no Points to defend till end of March due to illness 1 year ago
breakthrough season starts in Doha with qualies, beating Donald Young(#3), Marco Cecchinato (3 sets) and Matthias Bachinger, possibly meeting his mate Gulbis (both coached by Bresnik) in rd 1. 1st points of the season assured |
|
By:
lucky draw meeting another qualifier in rd 1 (Gojowczyk), #6 Kohlschreiber probably waiting in rd 2
|
|
By:
5-7, 0-6 not what was to be expected, maybe a slight nibble somewhere and saving himself for Melbourne qualies to grab the big paycheque looming. Still 12 pts accumulated for ranking
|
|
By:
Gojowczyk showed some quality by beating Kohlschreiber 7-6,7-6 too
|
|
By:
seeded #17 for qualies, 1st playing de Voest, likely Opponent in rd2 Bachinger and in rd3 Klizan (#2) or A.Beck, he should make it, fingers crossed
|
|
By:
not as popular as the Halep thread
|
|
By:
He will have no problem beating de Voest tomorrow.
|
|
By:
scoreline given on that match in set 1 differs among various sources
 |
|
By:
lost 1st set 3-6, broken early in the 2nd
|
|
By:
He will never win a slam.
|
|
By:
come on, give the boy some credit, never winning a slam puts him in a row with about 99% of players ever reaching top 100, he is top 20 material for sure!
Turned around match being break down in 2nd as well as in 3rd set, winning 3-6, 7-5, 10-8, next to meet Bachinger |
|
By:
Bachinger beaten with taking a set off 6-3, 0-6, 6-3, Klizan as expected as the last hurdle, gl
|
|
By:
finally a 2-0 over Klizan (2,5); though Klizan got a LL ticket there is no secured LL slot in a GS, so it is a full credited win.
1st round opponent is Sousa (#51), 2nd rd would be an out of form Anderson or Vesely in the section of Haas and Berdych, let's look if he can surprise |
|
By:
Sousa beaten 5-7, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(3), was a break up in 1st set also
 . 1st GS tournament ever already a success, best ranking ever around 110 assured.2nd rd opponent: Vesely leads Anderson 2-1 |
|
By:
Anderson has turned it around from 0-2
|
|
By:
Anderson won 3-0 (4,3,4) he was the deciding bit better, but Thiem played well making his 1st slam a full success. 70 ranking pts will make him advance around 115, ready to launch into top 100 for a place in RG main draw
|
|
By:
up 21 places to a career high of 115, 69th in year's race
|
|
By:
next station Rotterdam qualies, 1st rd de Schepper
|
|
By:
proof of mental strength in a server's battle with 7-6(4), 7-6(1), fav tomorrow vs Slovak Sikora, who beat Gojowczyk on retiring
|
|
By:
6-1, 7-5 with a slight hick up in set 2 giving an early leading break away, drawn to Nieminen in rd 1, winner probably will face Mugray in rd 2
|
|
By:
Nemo, very good result, well done
|
|
By:
good win over Nieminen (6-4, 4-6, 6-4) 2/16 bps converted, 0/6 in 2nd set, where he had his chances too; saved 7/8 pts during the match, 86% conversion of 1st serve, but only 54% of 1st serves in.
Well on the planned way, 65 pts added to the tally sees him on the brink of top 100 already |
|
By:
nice job by dominik bb66iem
 |
|
By:
1.07 on Mugray? no value
|
|
By:
maybe dominator thiem thread next how to make money backing low odds favs thread?
|
|
By:
impressive performance
|
|
By:
After a nervous start that made him trailing 2 breaks quickly he showed why he is considered to be Austria's biggest talent for decades, but lost 4-6, 6-3, 3-6.
|
|
By:
ranked #99, within top 100 and Austrian #2 for the 1st time, race not up yet, but I suppose he'll be around 60.
Upcoming schedule probably IW and Miami qualies with Dallas challenger in between |
|
By:
52nd in this year's race
|
|
By:
my only question mark is whether he's muscling the ball too much. his groundies don't seem quite fluid enough. i think with that comes injuries and getting tight at big moments.
we'll see though. |

@ DStyle
up to now fitness was the main lacking issue in his career Playing Acapulco qualies too, 1st round Zimbabwian Garangangay (#345), set to meet Goffin in the 2nd and final round |
|
By:
rather easy win, Goffin yet to play
|
|
By:
Thiem vs Garanganga 6-2, 6-3, for the sake of completion
|
|
By:
Thiem vs Goffin, odds have Goffin as a slight fav
|
|
By:
good matchup
|
|
By:
Thiem odds on now
|
|
By:
lost 6-3, 1-6, 6-7(1) after failing to convert 3 single bps for a double break lead in 3rd set, not winning one point on serve in tb, I wonder if there was a niggle. Adding 10 pts to mthe tally won't Change ranking significantly.
Goffin now playing Kubot, winner will probably face Gulbis, who is coached by Bresnik like Thiem. Btw, Mugzer faces Nieminen on his comeback after almost 5 month of injury break (shoulder) |
|
By:
With you, not for the first time, asking if he was bothered by a niggle/injury after a loss, you start to sound like them Nadal fanboys who always say Rafa only ever loses if injured
 |
|
By:
where have I done it before?
I only did analysis of match stats, weak serve stats and giving away an almost commanding lead gave me reasons to do. |
