Great match by del Potro today. He did so many things well, but especially on the mental front. Thiem lacked experience and the ability to stay in the moment and play his game. He seemed to think that he was supposed to beat del Potro; a recipe for disaster. Thiem still doesn't have the experience that these guys possess, he needs to continue to play his game, ignore the hype, and continue to make his career a work in progress, or he can just look at Dmitrov who tried to fulfill the hype.
good to see del potro back out there.
rafa strikes again.
that is 11 matches in a row. just has to keep building his game back up to a point where he can be competitive against the top guns at slams.
rafa is also using the right language now. he said he would like to win RG.
that is far different from what he had been saying. he is getting that winning feeling back.
it is better to compete and win if you were born a gladiator. that is what sets you apart from the rest.
