Depends on what happens in Madrid and Rome if Thiem gets his form back, he has a chance. Right now it seems like Tsitsipas has the best shot at challenging Nadal. But don't count out Djokovic and I think 2021 will have some surprises.

[patrykluwanski]

With Dominic’s tournaments in the beginning of the year results loosing to Lloyd Harris: don’t think he has many chances in the French open

[AgastyaBajaj]

Well Thiem has gotten the better of Nadal on clay several times before, and we’re all sleeping on Domi again considering he’s a back to back RG finalist and has won quite a few clay tournaments. If he’s fit who knows what can happen cause Rafa is getting older and Domi is the N1 contender and has the credentials to beat Rafa at RG!

[ianchoi]

I would be very very very upset if Rafa loss

[tusharsingh]

At least he's setting his sights on the next achievement. I hope he fights through his inner demons and wins one of Madrid or Rome before RG.

[marykay]

No way. He's been out with injury. Tsitsipas is in form and very hungry. Nadal has cracks, but he's still the king of clay

[armonjordan]

👍 Don't know! I'll be in the house!

[MoneyMatter-yb]

Prince of clay and not winning RG at age 27 ? Rafa won it when he was just 19. 😀

[rusdayatiidrus]

But Rublev n Sinner n Tsitsipas r now better n stronger n more ferocious than Thiem. The three will be quite a hurdle for Thiem.

[activelivingchallenger]

maybe he doesn't mean this year but a future year? That's why he mentioned he wants to beat Rafa while he's still active?

[lukekaehne]

He could only win if he is playing the match of his life. And he can’t play the match of his life for two weeks so if he has any chance to meet Nadal to play the match of his life, let’s hope he doesn’t meet anyone in the top 8 before then otherwise no way.

[jupham]

Thiem Time. Rafa's beatable....On the other hand announcing it will make Rafa mad. Sorry Thiem I think you jinx yourself.

[dawnhasbroken]

He's been sidelined. Does he not need practice?

[cubicsrube]

Isn’t thiem like in a little bit of a depression? I read about it somewhere

[muhammadrizqiyawan]

Nadal Win RG 14th 2021
GS 21th

[vincetomolo]

Absolutely no chance, SF at best for thiem

[danimanaure]

[pauljohnson]

Sorry it's over Thiem you bottled it in 2019, maybe when you reach 30.
