DOWN AND UP, WHAT A MATCH!!!
THIEM STARTED AS IF HE WAS THERE BY ACCIDENT AND ZVEREV UNBELIEVABLY LEADING BY TWO SETS AND ON HIS WAY TO VICTORY. HOWEVER, THE AUSTRIAN GATHERED UP HIS COURAGE AND SKILL, HE CAME BACK TO WIN THE THIRD AND THE FOURTH SETS.
THEN, THE FIFTH SET
ZVEREV DROPPED THE FIRST GAME AND FROM THEN ON, THE GAME WAS UP? NO, HE BROKE BACK IMMEDIATELY BUT…
THIEM A STAMINA PLAYER CAME FAST AND FURIOUS. LEGS TIRED, PHYSICALLY TIRED BUT KNOWING I CAN LAST, HE CANNOT, GIVES HIM IMPETUS. UP AND DOWN AND IN THE END IT HAS TO BE ADMIRED AS A GAME. BOTH PLAYERS PLAYING LIKE POSSESSED, EVEN THOUGH EXHAUSTED, THEY PLAYED ON, THEY BROKE SERVES AND THEN IT CAME TO THE LAST 6-5 WITH THIEM SERVING AND 6-6 …….
THUS TO THE END, THIEM INJURED, BUT THIEM GOES ON.
TIE BREAK AND IT FAVOURS THIEM.
TO WIN THE FIRST GREAT GRAND SLAM OF HIS CAREER IN NEW YORK.
WELL DONE THE TWO PLAYERS.
THE ACE
