Thiem compared to Delbonis or Albot

The conditions of the Philippe-Chatrier Court were not easy: the wind was blowing both players hard. And it was on the third set, when Thiem got his first break of the break which was 2: 2. Andujar surprised his opponent with a different servic-volley for the first time. And the Spaniard added to the eighth game, earning a 5: 3 in serving T Thiem. Having a chance to return immediately, Andujar freed himself. And at 6: 3 he got his first victory compared to the fourth at the world level.


In the fourth round, Thiem missed the lead at 15:40 where Andujar gave the score 1-0. Instead, it was a 27-year-old US Open player who offered his career to zero. The two-time France Open (2018 and 2019) finalists have behaved very badly in this category, showing his weakness in the direction of his box. This manifested itself in the second loss of the service set, which Thiem backed with a double error and a backhand error to make it 1: 4. After playing 3:37 hours, T Thiem blocked Andujar's first chance to equalize the set. He nailed the ace in the field at Advantage Thiem. And after Thiem's ​​previous mistake he actually made a tie.


The decision started badly for Thiem - namely Andujar's break. The 1: 1 ratio was started with a stunning blow behind the back of Temi. He also had a chance to make it 3-1, and in his place Andujar also took the lead with a break to make it 3-2. That was enough for Andujar, who used his first ball of the game after 4:28 hours.
