Nadal vs Thiem on hard courts was pure gladiator stuff. US open 2018 encounter was their best match and this a close second.

Thiem's title count doesn't match how great he really was. He went toe to toe with the big three in their era. If not for the injuries he would have been a multi-slam winning player no doubt.

I would think that’s Agassi’s Sampras 2001 US match. Literally no breaks of serve! But this one’s gotta be close. On the other hand, Nadal has undoubtedly been part of the greatest AO match ever(2012 final), the greatest Wimbledon match ever(2008 final), and the greatest RG match ever (2013 SF). He’s only missing the greatest US match which has got to be Borg McEnroe’s 1980.

3 TBs with many lucky net shots that won him this match. Thiem was lucky to win this vs. Nadal. In the end Novak cooked him. Pity it wasn't Nadal. Would love for Nole to have 3-0 H2H in AO.

@@Karen_McAlllister Lucky net shots or not, Thiem was the better player- as I keep saying, Nadal can be beaten on hard court, he's not invincible, just challenging to play, Novak isn't the only one, to be able to beat him on hard court, Murray, Federer, Wawrinka, Zverev, and a handful of others have done it, even Medvedev would have beat him at Ao2022- if it wasn't for that corrupt umpire.
