From 2017-2020, this was my favorite rivalry on tour. Two aggressive baseliners just crushing the ball. Their ATP Finals 2020, AO2020, and USO2018 matches were some of the highest quality I’ve seen.

These highlights hurt more than one can enjoy, two-fold.

It's sad that we may never see this version of Dominic Thiem ever again,
and for the Rafa fans...this just may be his last rodeo.

[unowen]

Absolutely insane how Rafa vs. Thiem used to be called "King of clay vs. prince of clay" and now they're meeting in the 1st round of a 250 tournament.

[YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi]

Thiem in his prime was something else. Perhaps the hardest overall hitter on the court there's ever been. He crushes pretty much every ball so viciously.

[robinkalousek]

Thiem between 2017-2020 was by far the best next gen player with insane peaks. Medvedev, Tsitsipas etc could not hold a candle to him.
Just for the reminder he won last 5 out of 7 matches against Djokovic, and beat Fed in 2019 3 times in a row .
Now he is finished. He has regressed in every single aspect, return is a disaster, forehand goes long or wide on almost every ocassion and serve is mediocre at best. Pity.

[juanb]

wow. thiem was crushing the ball in rome. great trilogy.

[Walkman]

These guys have such a respect for eachother, both hard working, humble and nice guys
Both of them deserve to return to greats spots on the ATP tour in 24

[tomwild]

Oh what I would give to see either of these wonderful players back at even half this level!

[インコ-le]

Even though his peak season was off, his battle with the Big 3 was very intense.
It is really surprising that he only got two big titles.

[nikoladjelic]

I remember watching Thiem live, and some changes from baeline are good, and then suddenly Theim's backhand winner goes as fast as blitz. Everyone in crowd got stunned every time he did that.

[TennisFan]

So excited for their Brisbane match! 🎾

[federicotown]

It was such an epic rivalry this one !

[federicotown]

Thiem one of the few players who could beat Nadal on clay

[cutie.patootie]

thiem was honestly the only one with djokovic who could consistently keep up with rafa on clay. whats more he had a one handed backhand.

[Skweenison]

If you’re hitting like this, you’re allowed to grunt 😂

[hide_]

I really wanted to see Thiem beat Nadal in the final to win Roland Garros.
Their rivalry was beautiful.

[kaizen]

In my opinion, if I have to see d best of Nadal on clay, it's against Thiem and that says a lot about Thiem. ❤❤❤

[maryalexis]

Thanks for the video was nice to see Rafa plaing tennis with Thiem - again.

[iansmirna]

I must admit I forgot how good Thiem was. Seeing him blasting the one hand BH, I also remember why he had to get surgery.

[maciejgudel]
