Tennis thread: Australian Open finals and beyond!

All tennis chat welcome here

I certainly don't want him to come back this set!

Blimey. Djok is off the boil.

Don't blow it Dom!

Djok seems to have perked up

Must have been the medical 'chat'.

What is going on now?

Has he gone home?

Has Djok done a runner? The umpire is looking a bit worried!

what has he been up to?

done a runner

Now that would be interesting.

I thought he'd legged it.

Me too

Djok has lost this. Just can't see him turning it around.

Hope so BGD, but I've seen this from Djok too many times (well, thinking of the Andy Murray finals) to believe it.

I'm not convinced- I feel like he just let the last set go. But I'm cynical like that. I want to be proved wrong though. And want to know where he wandered off to!

Yes he could still come back from this - he does seem more perky since his mysterious disappearance as well!

Hopefully Thiem will hold his nerve - I think he could do it - he just needs to believe!

I think the younger ones rattle him more. He'd have been very happy to have played Rafa today.

He was all over the place in the Wimbledon final too coming back from match point down. I dont know Thiems fame very well, is he nervy?

Oh yes, BGD he knows Rafa's game too well- and it would probably have been over now, sadly.

I mean game.

It wouldn't be the first time he let a set go Raahh (also cynical).

I don't know about nerves, he certainly kept his head against Djok at the French.

BGD Thiem can be a bit nervy especially when serving out a set or a match but he still managed to beat Rafa and I think he’s getting more confident with experience

Jane he just seems to do it and then come out and race through the next set.

I think he has come up against someone who isn't letting him play that 'game' today. At least, I hope so.

He admitted was nervous against Sascha and his stomach was cramping a bit because of it.
